  • You're listening to the Briefing, first broadcast on the 12th of November, 2024 on Monocle Radio.

  • Hello, and welcome to the Briefing, broadcasting live from Studio 2 here at Midori House in London, I'm Vincent McAvinnie.

  • Coming up on today's program, as Donald Trump's administration and cabinet begins to take shape, what can we glean on foreign policy from his rumored Secretary of State pick?

  • Then to Peru, where Pacific leaders are gathering.

  • That's right, Vincent.

  • At least 14 leaders of the world have so far confirmed their attendance at the leaders Summit in Lima from November 15 to 16.

  • China's Xi Jinping, Japan's new Prime Minister, Ishiba Shigeru, Canada's Justin Trudeau.

  • All the big ones are going to be there.

  • And we check in on the Paris photo International Photography Fair.

  • Is a physical archive like Magnum has over almost 80 years of practice still existing in 10, 15, 20 years?

  • Plus the roundup of the day's business news.

  • All that right here on the Briefing with me, Vincent McAvini.

  • Now, Donald Trump has made some staff staffing appointments in the week since the election as vying candidates ensconce themselves in Mar?

  • A Lago hoping to win favor.

  • But after an exhausting few years of campaigning, Trump has been unusually low profile with his pronouncements and appearances.

  • Governments and analysts around the world are waking up this morning to pore over the record of rumored pick for Secretary of State, Florida Senator Marco Rubio.

  • He is expected to become America's chief diplomat.

  • Quite a journey for a politician who previously called the president elect a Third World strongman and a con artist who should never be in charge of the nuclear codes.

  • Well, Scott Lucas, adjunct professor at the Clinton Institute at the University College Dublin, joins us now to discuss the prospective appointment.

  • Scott, if true, what can you tell us about Marco Rubio?
