How the world is reacting to America's midterm results

Season 2026 Episode 41 | 26m 46s

After nearly two turbulent years, Americans send a clear message – it’s time for a check on President Trump’s power. But will that actually happen? And what does a Democratic-controlled Congress mean for Trump’s foreign policy? Compass Points moderator Nick Schifrin discusses that and more with Gustau Alegret, Nadia Bilbassy-Charters, Misha Komadovsky and Willy Lowry.
