Roland Oliphant 和 Tony Diver 讨论了特朗普对外交政策核心团队的任命,特别是图尔西·加巴德(国家情报总监)、马可·卢比奥(国务卿)、彼特·赫格塞思(国防部长)和迈克·沃尔兹(国家安全顾问)的任命。他们分析了这些任命的潜在影响,包括对美国与中国、以色列、乌克兰等国家关系的影响,以及对全球地缘政治格局的潜在影响。他们还讨论了这些任命人选的背景、政治立场以及他们对关键国际问题的观点。此外,他们还分析了这些任命可能造成的争议,以及这些任命人选在参议院获得确认的可能性。 两位主持人深入探讨了每位被提名人的背景和政治观点,并分析了这些任命对美国外交政策方向的潜在影响。他们特别关注了图尔西·加巴德的任命,认为她对美国情报机构的批评以及她对某些国际事件的非传统观点可能会对美国情报界和国际关系产生重大影响。对于马可·卢比奥的任命,他们认为卢比奥的观点已经与特朗普的观点相一致,这可能标志着美国外交政策的重大转变。他们还讨论了彼特·赫格塞思的任命,认为他缺乏高级军事指挥经验,这在华盛顿引发了争议。最后,他们还分析了迈克·沃尔兹的任命,认为他强硬的对华立场可能预示着特朗普政府未来对华政策的强硬路线。
