President Trump Pivots to Asia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Unable to win the war against Iran, President Trump is unrolling a new strategy: pretending to win. The US-Iran ceasefire, honored mostly in the breach for its 60-day term, has lapsed, with no negotiations to extend it. President Trump has declared, “The Hormuz Strait is open and operating.
