One response to “398. Question Time: Trump’s Plan to Overhaul US Diplomacy”

  1. I am a big fan of the The Rest is Politics! One issue that I thought might have been discussed was the Transparency.org report released earlier this year. While I follow it as a smug New Zealander, I was alarmed to see NZ’s place drop in world rankings. I was even more alarmed
    to see the increase in climate change-related corruption and the role of the petroleum companies in this. Do you or Rory have any insights you can share on this disturbing trend and how it is being tackled?
    Thank you
