As Europeans are left to concede that Trump is not on their side, we are talking the old world vs. Trump’s world on the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’ with our guest. He argues that the once-stalwart alliance is crumbling. Ironically, Trump's strategy may backfire in his quest for U.S. dominance: with Russia and China standing firm, Europe finds itself reaching out to its old adversaries—Moscow and Beijing. Could there be a hidden genius behind Trump’s madness though? Only time will tell.

Rick takes us through the Davos forum, where the mouths of European leaders were left agape as Trump hurled insults at their governments and questioned their loyalty. Even Zelensky is pointing fingers at EU capitals - are they doing enough? But is “enough” ever really enough for him?

The signal is clear though: the real talk is happening in Moscow and with Moscow. What’s ahead? Find out only on RT.
