Despite its unhelpful and cynical restriction on rare earth magnets, I still think China wants and needs a trade deal with the U.S. My interview CNN

Two events today will give further momentum to NATO Sec Gen’s 3.5+1.5% formula to give an overall figure of 5% of GDP as the new NATO target by 2032: Merz will double down on it at his meeting with Trump, and it will get strong backing at NATO Defence Ministers mtg. Be prepared!

Chancellor Merz is absolutely correct. Important reminder for Americans of this lesson from Europe’s own history.

We passed this in Berlin today. We should value our universities—drivers of progress worldwide.

There is only one morally and strategically right choice in this war. The U.S. must support #Ukraine.

Heard the sad news about Brian today and thought about all the years I’ve been listening to him and admiring his genius. Rest in peace dear Brian.

The US doesn’t need ⁦Voice of America⁩. Until it does. washingtonpost.com/style/media/20…

The cavalier destruction of Voice of America has hurt us in China and now in Iran. Unilateral disarmament. Deeply unwise. Voice of America
