Trump’s New Brand of Imperialism
The New Yorker Radio Hour About this episode
<p>U.S. intervention in other countries, whether overt or covert, is by no means new, and <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/daniel-immerwahr">Daniel Immerwahr</a> notes that the open embrace of expansionism by the President and associates such as Stephen Miller goes back to the nineteenth century. Immerwahr is a professor at Northwestern University and the author of the 2019 best-seller “<a href="https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250251091/howtohideanempire/">How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States</a>.” He discusses Trump’s disdain for international law; tensions between the U.S. and Russia and China; and the historical link between imperialism and appeals to masculine pride.</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
