President Trump’s simultaneous trade wars with Canada, Mexico, China and the European Union amount to a huge economic and political gamble: that Americans will endure months or years of economic pain in return for the distant hope of re-industrializing the American heartland. It is enormously risky. In recent days, Mr. Trump has acknowledged, despite all…
Democrats have a problem that runs deeper than the 2024 election. They have a problem that runs deeper than Elon Musk’s assault on the government. Look at the places they govern: strongholds like New York and Illinois and where I’m from, California. They’re losing people. [CLIP: Since the pandemic started, California is seeing an exodus,…
The US defence secretary has heaped praise on British troops in an apparent effort to ease anger following outrage over JD Vance’s comments suggesting the UK had not fought a war in 40 years. Pete Hegseth welcomed his British counterpart John Healey to the Pentagon on Thursday for talks and took the chance to commend…
Zelensky went on to say, in fact, that “We cannot spend dozens of thousands of our people so that they perish for the sake of Crimea coming back.” Instead, he indicated that he hoped to recover Crimea “diplomatically.” A cease-fire with European security guarantees fits with long-held American desires to “pivot to Asia,” to project…

After five weeks in which President Trump made clear his determination to scrap America’s traditional sources of power — its alliances among like-minded democracies — and return the country to an era of raw great-power negotiations, he left one question hanging: How far would he go in sacrificing Ukraine to his vision? The remarkable showdown…
During his first term in office, President Trump described the European Union “as a foe,” established “to hurt the United States on trade.” He repeated the charge at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, but in more vulgar terms: “The European Union was formed in order to screw the United States. That’s the purpose of it,…
The hard-right Alternative for Germany might not have done as well in Sunday’s election as its leaders had hoped, but its groundbreaking performance was enough for a congratulatory phone call from Elon Musk. Alice Weidel, the chancellor candidate for the party, known by its German initials, AfD, told journalists on Monday morning that she had…
Germans voted for a change of leadership on Sunday, handing the most votes in a parliamentary election to centrist conservatives, with the far right in second, and rebuking the nation’s left-leaning government for its handling of the economy and immigration. The results almost certainly mean the country’s next chancellor will be Friedrich Merz, leader of…
