Europe vs the US: How do they compare?

The World at One Highlights

President Trump has described Europe as a “decaying” group of nations led by “weak” people, saying it was being "destroyed" by immigration, which was “ruining" Europe's heritage.

The new US National Security Strategy says the US must “cultivate resistance” within Europe to its "current trajectory" which has set it on a path of "civilisational erasure" - a document which describes itself as “a roadmap to ensure America remains the greatest and most successful nation in human history and the home of freedom on earth”.

The World At One's Sarah Montague and PM's Evan Davis consider "Europe versus America" - how do they compare, in income, job opportunities, life expectancy, literacy, and quality of life and happiness?

BBC Radio 4 - The World at One Highlights, Europe vs the US: How do they compare?

Radio 4's Sarah Montague and Evan Davis discuss.

BBC

Much of this afternoon's BBC World at One segment on US president Biden's visit to Ireland was given over to a ludicrous softball interview with grubby-fingernailed DUP nutter Sammy Wilson. The interviewer, one Sarah Montague, aka Lady Brook, is described on her Wikipedia page as a "journalist". Oh yes.
