    Congress Might Be About to Hand Trump Sweeping Tariff Powers (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act, which the House will likely vote on this week, looks like a no-brainer for supporters of Ukraine who have been calling for President Trump to get tougher on Russia. A large majority of America’s existing sanctions on Russia, which target thousands of government officials and companies, are currently enforced by executive order, meaning that the president can remove them whenever he wants. The Graham bill would turn those sanctions into law: If Trump wan

    Why Did John Ratcliffe Go to Moscow? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Sign up for our newsletter about national security here. CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s brief trip to Moscow yesterday was unannounced but hard to miss: He flew in a C-17A, a large heavy-transport plane, that open-source analysts quickly identified and tracked. Within hours, he was already on his way home. The purpose of Ratcliffe’s visit remains unknown. In an interview with Glenn Beck this morning, President Trump described it as “sort of semi-routine,” but such trips are rare. The previous tim

    The Ticking Clock on the Strait of Hormuz (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Back in June, at the closing press conference for the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, Donald Trump explained why he had called a halt to hostilities with Iran. Continued bombing would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and as long as the war went on, commercial ships would stay away while emergency oil supplies dwindled. “We run out of reserves in about four weeks,” he warned, conjuring up images of shortages, bedlam, surging prices, and a market collapse on the scale of 1929. Trump told the press t

    The Opening After Netanyahu (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Last week, Rahm Emanuel traveled to Tel Aviv University to deliver an unusually blunt warning: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is jeopardizing Israel’s long-term alliance with the United States. Emanuel, the former Obama White House chief of staff, urged Israel to pursue what he called a “23-state solution”: an agreement in which movement toward Palestinian sovereignty would be embedded in a larger normalization deal between Israel and the Arab world. For decades Washington has oscillated betw

    The Foreign-Policy Debate Democrats Need to Have (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Sign up for Inside the Trump Presidency, a newsletter featuring coverage of the second Trump term. The debate over the future of the Democratic Party’s foreign policy has become intensely personal. In May, Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii posted on social media that although he did not favor “black listing,” he thought it nevertheless “fair to want a whole new crop of foreign policy staffers in the next democratic administration.” After all, he added, “it’s not like the same 120 people are the onl
