Trump's return, democracies under pressure, wars in Ukraine and the Middle East: 2025 holds a lot of uncertainty and potential for conflict. What does that mean for us? Thomas Jäger, Professor of International Politics, assesses the most important challenges in an interview with BR24. CONTENT 00:20 What does Donald Trump mean for the world? 01:35 What does Donald Trump mean for Germany? 03:32 How peaceful will 2025 be? 05:34 Is 2025 a fateful year for Ukraine? 07:48 Will Putin remain firmly in the saddle? 09:34 What will happen next in Syria? 12:24 What will 2025 mean for democracies around the world? 14:04 Is there reason for optimism? Only a few of the most important positions are still to be filled, the vast majority have been decided: the designated US President Donald Trump has now nominated and appointed over 70 people to govern the USA with him for the next four years. What does Trump's return to the White House mean for the USA - and for Germany? Will Trump really bring about peace, as he promised during the election campaign, or will he make the world a more dangerous place? Will democracies continue to be in retreat in 2025? What will happen in Syria and the Middle East after the fall of Assad? And: Can we be optimistic despite everything? Thomas Jäger, Professor of International Politics at the University of Cologne, answers these questions.
