Yes, there is a Trump doctrine: It emphasizes using American power aggressively to reshape key relationships and accrue US advantage. But it also raises troubling questions about how long that power will endure. @opinion @AEI @SAISHopkins .

The world's most powerful alliance is seemingly always in crisis. As Trump heads to Europe, See my latest for @opinion on why NATO is so often tested, why it has, so far, survived--and why it is facing its most profound challenge yet. @AEI @SAISHopkins.

Israel's war against Iran isn't one conflict. It's three overlapping conflicts, all with global implications: A war for future of the ME, war for non-proliferation, and war that squeezes axis of aggressors by pressuring its weakest link. @opinion @aei.

It looks at the politics of America's China policy and the merits of the Asia First debate. And it explores how the great changes Xi and Trump are making in their own countries could affect the global system, and the US-China relationship, in the years ahead.

Want to know where the US-China competition is heading, in light of the new trade truce? No better way than to study the lessons of how it has unfolded so far. That's the goal of a new book I edited, Lessons from the New Cold War.

With Trump's China trade truce, the great export control debate is on. Why the "export controls don't work" case is wrong--and why ditching curbs on China's access to high-end semiconductors would epitomize strategic self-harm. @opinion @AEI .

I was in Japan last week to talk about the state of the world--but all anyone wanted to talk about was the state of the US. Why the US-Japan alliance has rarely been more important--and rarely faced greater uncertainty or danger. @opinion @AEI .
