How does the world feel about the United States after midterm elections that were widely seen as rebuke to President Donald Trump's leadership? The election results signal to traditional U.S. allies that the system is working and “America is back again,” Gustau Alegret, a journalist for CNN en Español and others, told Compass Points host @nickschifrin. Compass Points from PBS News analyzes prominent international affairs topics and America’s role in a shifting world, breaking down global conflicts, rising tensions, and their implications for U.S. interests. Visit the PBS News website to watch this week’s episode.
