Tomorrow, 9am ET! I’ll be quizzing an outstanding panel about the meaning of South Korea’s election and its impact on foreign policy. With Korean legislator Rep. Kim Joon-hyung, Darcie Draudt-Véjares, James Park, and Frank Aum. quincyinst.org/events/will-le…

My latest for Responsible Statecraft. Beijing learned two key lessons from the first six months struggling to deal with Trump 2. It now has a clearer path to advancing diplomacy. But Trump’s reckless search for advantage could take us to conflict instead. responsiblestatecraft.org/trump-china-26…

Trump’s unresponsiveness to Beijing’s initial outreach and then his decision to launch into a confrontation without adequate prep has left US vulnerabilities exposed ... but there could be a silver lining, says Jake Werner @jwdwerner.bsky.social responsiblestatecraft.org/trump-china-26…

I had a great conversation with Connor Echols on Trump’s lurching diplomacy with China, the scary path we’re traveling right now, and some narrow possibilities to change the trajectory.

Eldar Mamedov & I were two of the last analysts from a US thinktank to visit Iran & speak w/ Foreign Ministry officials & nuclear negotiators. They were flexible on key issues & eager to reach a deal w/ Trump, if Trump could just take "yes" as an answer.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Defense officials briefed by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, were told that destroying Fordow would "likely require the US to first soften the ground with conventional bombs and then ultimately drop a tactical nuclear weapon from a B2 bomber." theguardian.com/world/2025/jun…

Trump’s tariff letters seem to be nothing more than a distraction from the fact that he’s again postponing the liberation day tariffs. But one big question remains: What is the letter to the Heard and McDonald Islands going to say??
