A restored WTO just the tonic
Oped, Published on 25/05/2022
» Russia's invasion of Ukraine has heightened everyone's appreciation of global issues and interconnectivity. In addition to geopolitical and defence concerns, there is a renewed focus on the state of international trade. After continuing Donald Trump's destructive trade policies for more than a year, US President Joe Biden's administration finally appears to have recognised the importance of strong trade relations. The United States is holding consultations with the European Union to expand cooperation on trade and technology, and with others on issues such as agriculture.

Mexico gets its very own Trump
News, Jorge G Castañeda, Published on 04/07/2018
» US President Donald Trump has been the world's worst headache for the past 18 months, and arguably no country has suffered more than Mexico. Of the three main contenders in Mexico's just-completed presidential election, none was as ill-prepared as the winner, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador -- Amlo, as he is known -- to manage the bully in the White House. Nonetheless, the Mexican people have chosen him, and he will have to deal with Mr Trump for much (if not all) of his six years in office.

News, Brahma Chellaney, Published on 25/05/2018

Secretive Russian billionaire vents to US conservatives

» It's not every day that a Russian billionaire submits a op-ed piece to the Daily Caller, the conservative US website. When the billionaire in question is as media-shy as Oleg Deripaska, something extraordinary is going on.

» One thing seems certain about Xi Jinping's move to establish himself as China's dictator for life: The bolder and more openly assertive foreign policy he has pursued since taking power five years ago is here to stay. The conventional wisdom is that the US, its Asian allies, and the broader international order are thus in for a rough stretch, as China demands its place in the sun. "Xi's consolidation of power," writes my Bloomberg View colleague James Stavridis, "will make China an even more formidable competitor." Less appreciated, though, is that this approach could also end badly for China, because Mr Xi may be overplaying his country's hand.
