The US, China and ‘Technology War’

Although Donald Trump’s “trade war” against China has consumed much of the world’s attention throughout 2018 and into 2019, policy communities on all sides appear to agree that old-fashioned trade frictions are really just an appetizer ahead of the main course: a looming “technology war” between the two great powers.

What happened, or didn’t happen, when Trump and Kim met again

When Kim Jong-un chose to travel nearly 4,000 kilometers by train to meet Donald Trump, it was only the beginning of a long and bumpy road to disarmament and peace, which remains out of reach after many handshakes, pleasantries and two days of talks.

On substance, the South Korean-led process should be allowed to take the lead […]

Summit Misdirection: Trump’s North Korea Ploy to Tackle Iran

US President Donald Trump’s summit meeting on North Korea’s nuclear weapons and his administration’s reversal of the multilateral nuclear deal with Iran negotiated under former President Barack Obama are being treated as separate matters.
