Jonathan Dimbleby hosts a panel discussion on America’s new political landscape

Jonathan Dimbleby hosts a panel discussion on America’s new political landscape with questions from the audience in Washington.

Jonathan Dimbleby hosts a panel discussion as President Trump’s administration starts to reshape the American political landscape. 

To his supporters, his promise to make America great again means more jobs, more security, controlled immigration and a foreign policy based upon putting America first. To his critics, he is plunging the country into an era of isolationism and prejudice.  The country remains deeply divided.  

Jonathan Dimbleby, a panel of politicians and opinion formers, and an audience at George Washington University discuss the USA’s most pressing challenges and what “Trumpism” might mean for the rest of the world. 

The panel includes the Republican Congressman Tom Cole, Democratic Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Diana Furchtgott-Roth of the Manhattan Institute and author Carol Anderson.
