On the day that US President Donald Trump delivered his State of the Union speech in Washington, Rana Dasgupta says that states are struggling to uphold the constitution and the rule of law. He says that the post-1945 period has been exceptional and we are now entering a stage where the interests of states are diverging from the interests of their citizens. He spoke to us in Perspective.
