Dara Massicot is a senior fellow in the Russia and Eurasia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for international peace, and joins us from Washington.

The reality of a second, more emboldened term for President-elect Donald Trump is sinking in. Leaders from across the globe are flooding him with congratulations and trying to get his ear on issues from the Middle East to Ukraine, to wide-ranging tariffs, and of course, the climate. All these topics that will be on the docket up at the G20 Summit in Brazil later this month, where host Brazilian President Lula will no doubt be seeing parallels between Trump's return and his own country's history with Jair Bolsonaro: a far-right politician known as "the Trump of the tropics" whose supporters stormed government buildings after he lost out on a second term. Christiane spoke with Lula about all these issues.

In the end, it wasn’t even close. Pollsters told us for months that it was a coin toss, that it could take days to count – before Donald Trump took most of the swing states and the popular vote in a single night. It was a near clean sweep for Republicans, taking back control of the Senate, and with the possibility remaining that they could hold on to the House. With all that plus a conservative-leaning Supreme Court, analysts and party stalwarts say President-elect Trump can now govern unconstrained. His agenda, as stated, includes mass deportations, deregulation, massive new tariffs on all foreign-made goods, and peace through strength abroad – though allies fear a more isolationist America. To react to all this, Christiane speaks with Trump’s former ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, who was a supporter of his re-election bid.
