This week, we’re joined by CNN’s Fareed Zakaria and former ambassador Ronald E Neumann to talk about the international reaction to the election

Because the US is the world’s largest economy and trading nation, the US presidential election is a deeply consequential contest for the entire planet. This week, host Sabrina Siddiqui is joined by CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, who explains that prominent foreign leaders are “freaking out completely” over the state of the election. “This liberal world order and global stability is upheld by, at some level, the word of the United States.”

Later in the show, Siddiqui speaks with former ambassador Ronald E Neumann, who served under Bill Clinton and later in Bahrain and Afghanistan under George W Bush.

Variations in government administrations can make the difference between promoting democracy abroad and stifling diplomacy through overly cautious measures. The key, Neumann says, is that: “Presidents have to find that fine line between simplification and stupidity.”
