After over a decade
of division between rival factions in eastern and western Libya,
the Trump administration has put forward a plan to unite the
two sides through a power-sharing agreement. Hosts Alistair Taylor
and Matthew Czekaj are joined by MEI Distinguished Diplomatic
Fellow Jonathan M. Winer to unpack the details of this proposal and
its potential consequences for the Libyan people. Winer, who served
as United States Special Envoy for Libya, offers analysis of the
plan's viability, the response of various actors on the ground, and
whether it can stabilize the country and help resolve its
deep-seated challenges.
