Donald Trump is headed back to the White House, and already it appears it won’t be business-as-usual for US foreign policy.

Our guests:
Thorsten Benner, Co-founder and director of the Global Public Policy Institute in Berlin.
Moritz Gathmann, Foreign correspondent for the German weekly magazine, Stern.
Melinda Crane, American journalist
