Donald Trump winning his second term in office is a point of concern for some, with many worried about Trump pulling the US out of NATO and driving up tariffs.
UK correspondent Enda Brady says there's also fears about what a Trump presidency could mean for the Russia-Ukraine war as well.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
In the Brady Are UK correspondence with US. Now, Heyinda,
Hey Heather, great speaking again in your part of the world.
Our leader is preparing for the possibility that either side
could win.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I think they absolutely are, and I think the majority
of European capitals and their leaders will be staying up
very very late into the night here, and I think
the majority of them will want Harris to win because
they just can't handle the unpredictability of Trump. They're worried
about NATO. They're very, very worried about the USA pulling
out with NATO completely, as he has said if he
(00:33):
comes back. The war in Ukraine is still exercising minds
as we head deeper into winter. And I think the
only kind of people in Europe who will welcome a
Trump victory will be Victor Orban of Hungary. And the
worrying thing for the European Union is he has very
much positioned himself as Trump's best mate in Europe. He
has stayed at Marilago, he has spent time with Trump privately.
(00:56):
He's put a lot of effort into building this relationship
as Victor Orban of hum and people are talking about
democratic backsliding in Hungary in the last decade under his rule.
So it's fascinating. Let's just see what happens.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
What's the most likely outcome for Ukraine if Trump wins.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Look, he's saying that the war will end the very
next day after Trump comes in in January. And look,
I think Trump's plan is to get people to sit down,
knockheads together, and for Ukraine to give up vast, vast
tracts of land like Donyetsk, Luhansk, all of that area.
Russia will obviously keep you Crimea. That is Trump's plan,
(01:36):
totally unacceptable to Zelenski and the Ukrainian people. I'm not
sure he has a plan, but overall, ultimately Trump will
be a disruptor if he comes in again. And I
think that's why Labor we're so keen to go and
meet him in the summer, Keir Starmer securing a two
hour dinner in New York with Trump because they do
(01:56):
feel that it's possible he can win this.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, I think so, Hey, have you seen inside this
place in Chelsea that Tom Ford has bought.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I've seen the outside of it. I've not been invited
in yet. One hundred and sixty million dollars my God,
and he doesn't. And obviously you know there's a couple
of schools. I thought, here is hit the fashion designer
Tom Ford, preparing for a life outside America if Trump wins.
This purchase has been completed at lightning speed. And other
people are pointing out, hang on with the budget here
(02:25):
last Wednesday, He's got this over the line to save
on the increase in second home purchases. So there's a
property tax here every time you move. Second home purchases
have rocketed under this new labor budget. And the end
result is he's saved himself about three point two million dollars,
not that he needs it, having just sold his entire
empire to Esdale Order last year for about four billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Oh wow, okay, I was wondering how he was affording it.
Thanks for filling a net blank. How much is the
university He's going to go up.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
By so three point one percent from April, which will
probably knock on about eight hundred dollars a year onto
your degree tuition fees. So they currently stand at eighteen
thousand dollars a year. They'll go up to eighteen thousand,
eight hundred and Rachel Reeves the Chancellor Finance minister who
delivered this budget is very clear listening to her speak,
(03:16):
and the Education Secretary as well, Bridget Phillipson, that the
whole point of this rise is to get more value
from the universities and they address this squarely to the
what they say are highly paid vice chancellors that they
need to be looking at their salaries and bringing costs down. Now,
turkeys are not going to vote for Christmas, so the
government may have to intervene again at some stage, but
(03:38):
ultimately everyone in university as of April will be paying
even more for their university fees. And I find it
amazing because a few years ago when he was in opposition,
Keir Starmer said a labor government would scrap juition fees
completely and now they're hiking them.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
What a surprise. Hey, okay, listen, you know I think
I've talked to you about this before. What we have
to go here again because yesterday on the show Getting Texts,
this is a hit of the Rugby met getting Texts
telling off the news readers for pronouncing Ireland with the
R like Ireland. What is the right way to do it?
Is it Ireland or Ireland.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Ireland is how I would pronounce it. But look, I
love the fact that there's even a conversation about it.
And look, if you want to hear rugby commentaries, check
out the Irish pronunciation of some of your fellow's names.
You'll die laughing.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And were speaking English here in the rights We're We're
not speaking any sort of weird gayelic thing. We're speaking English.
Do you pronounce the R?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I say it Ireland? Ireland does not pronounce the r
English people. English people say Ireland.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh, but they are pronouncing they are, aren't they. It's
just really softly, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Very very softly and almost dropped and the eye almost
runs through into the l. Look we just say Ireland
and look, h.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
So long as Ireland win, dreaming like you're dreaming, you
can get smash.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
We've done it before, we were the only time we'd
I don't do it is when it matters in a
bloody World Cup. But anyway, there we are.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Thank you for settling at inder. I appreciate it. Indo.
Brady Ho's in for a sad weekend. Sad weekend after
the Rugby UK corresponds for more from hither Duplessy Allen Drive.
