Trump’s Bold Diplomacy on the Ukraine War and Iranian Nuclear Program
There was a lot of movement this week on two intractable global security problems when the Trump Administration put forward proposals that defied the foreign policy establishment to end the war in Ukraine and halt Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.

We should accept that we cannot solve Syria’s problems, at least not right now, and so should not waste precious time and resources on local politics. America has struggled since President Obama to get Syria policy right, largely because of being overwhelmed by a long list of critical issues—from the humanitarian toll of the civil war, pushing out Assad and facilitating a political transition to the actions of our global and regional adversaries there.
