US-China Trade Talks Turn Ugly: World in 60 Seconds

US-China Trade Talks Turn Ugly: World in 60 Seconds

Is global cooperation on climate change possible?

Sure, it's possible and as it gets worse, increasingly populations around the world, especially young people, are making it a priority. We've seen it in Finland, we see it in Australia. We see it even among left and right among young people the United States. That makes me feel, over time, we're going to see more cooperation.

How will the ANC - The African National Congress - fare in South Africa's elections?

They will win. But they're going to get a lot lower than they have in recent elections. They'll be lucky to get 60%. That makes it harder for Ramaphosa to actually engage in the anti-corruption that they desperately need. They need to go through what Brazil went through to make that country really work and the growth is going be slow.

Can Trump clinch a trade deal with China by Friday?

Well no, but I'd be really surprised if the Chinese do not back away from the backtracking they were already doing the last couple weeks. They were feeling more confident. They thought they had a deal with Trump that was basically in the bag. They backed off. Trump hit him hard with a couple of tweets. They do not want to see these big tariffs coming in. I'd be real surprised if we don't still move towards a deal. The markets will be happier and Trump will have something to announce. It will be positive.

The last five years have brought big changes to social media and the online experience, but are users better off for it? Chatbots and AI-generated content proliferate in social feeds. Twitter/X and, just recently, Meta have stopped fact-checking content to prioritize "free speech." As platforms like BlueSky emerge, toxicity and arguments might decrease, but it also leads to a more fragmented and atomized society, with no 'town square' to debate big issues. On GZERO World, Atlantic CEO Nicholas Thompson joins Ian Bremmer to discuss the seismic shifts in the social media landscape and the implications of AI-driven communication.
