The State Department announced Tuesday it was barring five Europeans it accused of leading efforts to pressure U.S. tech firms to censor or suppress American viewpoints.
At first glance, Kazakhstan’s decision to join the Abraham Accords last week holds little relevance. Israel and Kazakhstan have held diplomatic relations for over thirty years, prompting critics to view the latter’s entry into the accords as nothing more than a self-aggrandizing act by President Donald Trump. But there is more to this decision than […]
Japan should expel the Chinese consul general to Osaka over his X post that appeared to threaten to behead Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. Xue Jian’s rhetoric goes far beyond the so-called “Wolf Warrior” tendency of Chinese diplomats to aggressively rebuke perceived slights to the Chinese Communist Party and its policies.

THE CHANGING HISTORY OF THE SHUTDOWN. Why did Senate Democrats shut the government down for more than 40 days? Now that the standoff is over, it appears a number of Democrats cannot agree among themselves on why they did what they did.
