So far, this trip feels heavy on pageantry and light on substance. Plenty of cordial exchanges, but few tangible deliverables. Maybe that changes tomorrow. But at the moment, Trump seems to view a good meeting with Xi as the goal itself.

From threatening to invade Greenland to calling Canada "the 51st state" and slapping tariffs on everyone—this isn't "America First," it’s a massive self-inflicted wound. Now Trump wants to abandon NATO. That would be an all-time own goal.

Trump says Iran wants to negotiate, but he’s also called on Iranians to rise up and “take over” their government. Which is it? You can’t negotiate with the same regime you’re trying to replace — that’s absurd.

Russia isn't the reason Trump wants Greenland.

Many hear 'Trump' and think 'America'. But millions of us believe we’re better off pursuing win-win cooperation with allies than Trump's zero-sum games. In Autocrats vs Democrats, I outline an alternative strategy that advances US interests through global engagement www.amazon.com/Autocrats-vs...

Three decades ago, democracy looked unstoppable. Today, Russia and China are rewriting the rules. My latest book, Autocrats vs. Democrats: China, Russia, America and the New Global Disorder lays out how we got here—and how the U.S. should respond. www.amazon.com/Autocrats-vs...

For decades, arms control limited U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons. As of tomorrow, those limits are gone. That’s a bad outcome for everyone.

There's been one clear winner of Trump's war against Iran so far. Spoiler: It isn't Donald Trump.

No matter how this war ends, Trump will claim victory. But most Americans still don’t know why we went to war or what the objectives are. Without clear goals, how can we measure success? We "obliterated" their nuclear program last year, so what threat justified war now?

By disrupting the global economic order, we are making Beijing look like the rational, prudent alternative. Impressions matter. Right now, our global reputation is tanking while Beijing reaps the rewards. Watch in full: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZy3...

“In 2025, these data center protests successfully stalled over $100 billion worth of these facilities,” says journalist @karenhao.bsky.social. Hao adds that so many communities are able to mobilize because the issue “really does cut across political lines.”
