[Commentary] : The Trump doctrine. The sought to promote and respect for , annoying some and inspiring others. Those days are now gone, in some ways for better, but mostly for worse, by Richard Haass | Project Syndicate

For a long time, the United States sought to promote democracy and respect for human rights, annoying some and inspiring others. Those days are now gone, in some ways for better, but mostly for worse. NEW YORK – US President Donald Trump’s second administration is barely four months old, but alr...

[Featured] : Is a US-China trade agreement really possible? The US and China trade deal is fragile, limited in scope, and likely still vulnerable to sabotage or collapse, argue Angela Huyue Zhang and Alex Yang | Project Syndicate

The US and China trade deal is fragile, limited in scope, and likely still vulnerable to sabotage or collapse. Add to that the damage Donald Trump’s tariffs have already done to global supply chains, and businesses, consumers, and investors should brace for continued disruptions. LONDON – The Wh...

[Analysis] - goes global: ’s plan for . Whether he knows it or not, Donald Trump has a “big plan” for America and the world that was 40 years in the making, by Célia Belin | ECFR

Think big, act big Donald Trump has never been one to shy away from the grandiose. “I like thinking big. To me it’s very simple: if you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big,” he wrote in “The Art of the Deal”. He did a lot more than think in the first three […]

[Analysis] : Why 2025’s Q1 shocks could be the last opportunity to forge an master plan, by Karel Lannoo | CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies)

Europe has been profoundly shaken by the first three months of Donald Trump’s second administration. And because of this, the EU must urgently embrace a much wider and more ambitious strategic master plan, something it has thus far failed to do.

[Analysis] - The sources of conduct: ideology and the , by Liam Klein | The Clingendael Institute
