President Trump wants one of his top China trade enjoys, David Malpass, to lead the World Bank. Malpass is a veteran of Ronald Reagan’s Treasury Department and George H. W. Bush’s State Department, but it’s his more recent criticisms of the World Bank’s size and of multilateralism in general that are turning heads.
With America already pulling back from the United Nations, NATO and other multilateral institutions, is the World Bank next? How could Malpass shake up international finance?
Kate Weaver, associate professor of public affairs and associate dean for students at the LBJ School, joins fellow guest Nancy Birdsall of the Center for Global Development on the podcast "Wake with Luke Vargas" to look at the history, present and future of the World Bank and how it could change in the Trup era.
