Is This The Most Dangerous Moment in Geopolitics For Trump?

Summary

Jane Harman tells Bloomberg's Balance of Power that the U.S. faces a hugely dangerous geopolitical moment. She questions Trump administration claims on Iran, Venezuela, and Gaza, warning that military and diplomatic moves lack proof, stability, or clear follow-through. She also warns that China may exploit U.S. distraction over Taiwan and that ISIS and reduced cyber defenses leave the U.S. vulnerable. The only explicit investment view is caution on Venezuela, where she doubts it is safe to invest now.
