    Andrew Kosenko & Joseph E. Stiglitz

    If European leaders want to follow through on their statements in support of Ukraine following America’s betrayal of the country, they must seize the moment by seizing Russia’s assets. Europe has become the world’s bulwark against the rising tide of authoritarianism, and it can no longer afford to hide behind legalistic excuses.

    Trump’s Imaginary Victories

    Jeffrey Frankel

    On February 4, Donald Trump pretended that mild concessions by Canada and Mexico warranted a 30-day postponement of tariffs, and he will probably postpone them again.
