USAID’s Bonnie Glick: Trump’s Ultimatum to the WHO for COVID 19 Failures; China Debt-Trap Diplomacy

How is the Chinese Communist Party exploiting poor, but resource-rich or strategically situated countries using debt-trap diplomacy? What role is the US playing in the global response to coronavirus? And, how do authoritarian regimes like China, have an outsized influence in international organizations like the WHO and the UN Human Rights Council? In this episode, we sit down with Bonnie Glick, the Deputy Administrator of the US Agency for International Development (USAID). She has worked in the foreign service at the State Department, in the private sector at IBM, and in the world of development non-profits as a Senior Vice President at Meridian International Center. This is American Thought Leaders 🇺🇸, and I’m Jan Jekielek.
