You're listening to the Globalist, first broadcast on the 19th of February,
2025 on Monocle Radio, the globalist in association with UBS live from London.
This is THE Globalist.
I'm Emma Nelson.
A very warm welcome to today's program.
Coming up,
how the removal of a single sentence
from the White House website could reshape Taiwan's relationship with the rest of the world.
As Washington no longer says it doesn't support Taiwan's independence,
we'll ask what does it support instead?
Also ahead in the next 60 minutes,
we look back at yesterday's meeting in Riyadh between the US And Russia,
when Washington reshaped its role as negotiator in the Ukraine conflict
and arguably handed Moscow a diplomatic victory.
Plus, we'll turn our focus to the regional repercussions of yesterday's event.
The problem is that the public is not necessarily aware of the threat that we face.
They're not necessarily aware how important it is
that the US has suddenly exited the stage for European security.
More from the British MP Mike Martin a little later on.
Plus, today's pay per view is Monocle's Anita Riota.
