Lots of cross-trends are buffeting the global scene at the moment: populism, nationalism, anti-globalization. Many of these come together in the form of Trump.

Moisés Naím, distinguished fellow at the Carnegie Endowment, is the chief international columnist for El País and La Repubblica and the author of the bestselling The End of Power. He spoke to Tom Carver about these global challenges and why Trump ultimately makes him feel optimistic about America.
