"Trump will never voluntarily give up power": US risk advisor Bremmer on "ZiB 2"

Political scientist Ian Bremmer asserts that Donald Trump will "never voluntarily give up power," a stark assessment delivered during an interview on the Austrian television program "ZiB 2" with Armin Wolf. Bremmer, the founder of Eurasia Group and a prominent advisor on political risks to governments and corporations worldwide, has also established the Global Political Risk Index on Wall Street.

During the discussion, Bremmer highlighted Iran's role in inflicting what he termed the "greatest foreign policy defeat of his two presidencies" upon Donald Trump. This statement underscores the complex geopolitical landscape and the potential for significant international challenges during Trump's political career.

The conversation with Wolf, focusing on Trump as a primary risk to the global economy and touching upon war and peace agreements with Iran, provided a somber outlook. Bremmer's analysis offered little in the way of hope, suggesting a challenging and potentially volatile future shaped by Trump's political trajectory and international relations.
