Trump names controversial figures for new cabinet | Inside Story

Donald Trump is set to begin his second term with daunting foreign policy challenges.
The most pressing? - wars. But his plans on Ukraine, Gaza and Lebanon lack detail and are vague.
And the people he is choosing are controversial. Marco Rubio, the nominee for Secretary of State, is hawkish on China. Defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth thinks Israel should annex Occupied West Bank. So do Trump's choices signal his foreign policy to come?

Israel is like having a pebble in your shoe that you just can't get rid of

[@ScrambledEgg-q2l]

Love it when you cry

[@islandgirl101]

What u call "a pebble in the shoe" GOD calls "the apple of HIS eye" ❤❤

[@muddywater4505]

Why wouldn't European taxpayers shoulder most of the burden?

[@underworldevolution2266]

Hold your tears aljazeera😂😂😂

[@IsabellaCastile-y8y]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@takingdumponpresidenttrump669]

What's it like being a white supremacist?

[@nfd-e2u]

You Jealous joos don't own them like CNN and fox news😂

[@Garmonbozia-nc7mm]

You are going to miss Blinkin. He actually tried.

Absolutely 💯 not

[@terriej123]

Tried what?

[@PsychomikeIV]

tried what? to appease both side without actually understanding or SPEAKING to both sides. The man was incompetent and all you have to do to see that is look at his results and listen to any of his interviews. It didn't matter what a good guy Antony Blinkin was because he could not get anything done

[@akinthevalley4874]

He was over there kissing criminal despot Netanyahu's a** too. Don't glorify his crimes just because he wasn't as outspoken about being racist and he looks less rabid than Trump's clown car. America is losing credibility hourly and it's not going to be up to these deranged AIPAC funded idiots because America can't even lead America, forget leading the world.

[@Garmonbozia-nc7mm]

@@PsychomikeIVHave fun with Rubio. Blinkin was a fool to try to bring peace to people that don’t want it.

[@resurrectedone7463]

It’s Time for AIPAC To Register as a Foreign Agent

[@USMCvet-z2q]

Time for us to ban all Islamic organizations in USA starting from CAIR.

[@Mall_Watch]

Wait, Europe will have to pay the bill to re build itself? Not the American taxpayer? Outrageous!

[@muddywater4505]

How much aid came from European taxpayers during the United States hurricane season?

[@MrMAXZ888]

None at all ​@@muddywater4505

[@Vincent_de_Paul]

No, Europe will have to pay bills to rebuild Ukraine. How thick are you?

[@oceanwave4502]

The Global South should come together, e.g. via BRICS+, to hedge against the increasing uncertainty from the US, especially every 4 years! 🤔

[@sapiens6875]

Jazeera Panicking badly 😂

[@terriej123]

I’m with the guest in DC. When it comes to US foreign policy, experience has brought the worst decisions.

[@terriej123]

I feel so bad for all of us. Us here in the US & everyone else around the world.

[@ScrambledEgg-q2l]

Lol jill stein supporter?

[@user-te5gf2kk3h]

America has started their end of journey

[@user-te5gf2kk3h]

So the economy will get more affected in America military aggression will be more weak

[@alexandrapop953]

Ink. I. I. I. 😅

[@PsychomikeIV]

I think the man from the Ann Arbor is correct about what Arab Americans prioritized in the US election. But I think the group is also not so tied to Trump that they will vote for him and his followers if they do not bring peace. Or at least if they are not able to bring some results

[@rrubens3026]

What does he mean by social issues? Like they are that concerned about LGBTQ type of things?

[@PsychomikeIV]

@rrubens3026 I think religion based and family friendly values. A society that values children and sees them as the future.

[@riazzcaan]

same S**T deferent cabinet/

[@franciscofrancesco7844]

New faces, same policy.

[@Garmonbozia-nc7mm]

Lol policy is about to change…but not in the direction you prefer.

[@franciscofrancesco7844]

@Garmonbozia-nc7mm I prefer changes in favor of the American working class.

[@underworldevolution2266]

The lady anchor look so depresse 😂😂😂

[@CarlosIowa]

Only The Devil can make his enemies bow to him and heel. Only with God is there free will.

[@kevinvan6970]

Let American worries about American who care about what Al Jazeera think

[@CarlosIowa]

I care. Foreign media knows America better. Not beholden to US Corp. advertisers or MAGA cancelling BS.

[@dau4738]

Lmao yeah foreign media that's literally from a country without free speech knows better than the country with free speech and transparency. Another brainwashed AJ bot ​@CarlosIowa

[@nfd-e2u]

Obviously you do 😂 why bother responding/watching them 😅 logic not logicin

[@Rainforestdelight]

I betcha a lot of Trump muslim voters in America are regretting their choice 😂

[@scottandrews947]

The leopards are eating their faces in record time 🤣

[@MD-bu3xc]

Just wait. Most of the people who voted for him will be regretting their choice very soon. Remember he's the man who always told the story of the snake. "You knew who I was when you picked me up." Trump told everyone how evil he is and like mesmerized followers people signed up.

[@ScrambledEgg-q2l]

Reminds me of jill stein voters before the election lol mslims trying so hard to be relevant

[@IsabellaCastile-y8y]

God Bless USA! God Bless Israel!❤🇺🇲🇮🇱♥️

[@annelizemeyer1271]

I am from South Africa. I listen to both sides... it is so confusing.. but my heart is with both.

[@PsychomikeIV]

Good guests today. Still would appreciate someone from Israel on the panel since so much of the conversation seems to keep going there and there wasn't anyone here to describe how Israelis or Western Jews are actually feeling

[@stopdeforestation]

All they do is lie about everything

[@stabishop1769]

Heil Jazeera!

[@noecadavona1862]

Trump should start the rebuilding of the 3rd Temple in Jerusalem for the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ 😂
