Last week, I was asked what more efficient international aid could look like.➡️Instead of selling US crops🌽 to already weakened and fragile economies overseas, support the latter in developing their own agricultural sector to support food autonomy, livelihood and resilience.👩‍🌾

Seems like people—especially in the West—are [very] slowly realizing that a world order that is dominated by a single power is not in the interests of anyone. It had to hit their pockets for that reckoning to happen. Sigh.😒

This is high art

L'envers de l'exploitation des minerais critiques. L'exemple de la guinée: corruption, non transparence, absence de retombées économiques pour les communautés, pollution, raréfaction de l’eau potable, routes dégradées. www.rfi.fr/fr/podcasts/... @rfi.fr

Last month, I convened with @PlataformaCIPO & the Washington Brazil Office a group of experts from Latin America, the Caribbean & Africa to discuss climate action amid disengagement from the US gov. Check out insights from the conversation in our latest publication! www.stimson.org/2025/facing-...

Sec. of State Marco Rubio just told South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool he is no longer welcome in 🇺🇸 @mehdirhasan.bsky.social interviewed Rasool earlier this year where he called Gaza 'apartheid on steroids' and criticized Trump and Musk for interfering globally zeteo.com/p/south-afri...

Trump has threatened Caribbean nations that welcome Cuba medical missions. I wonder what his strategy towards France is, since Martinique, a French Caribbean island, also hosted a Cuban mission to support our COVID-19 response. apnews.com/article/cuba...

Btwn a transactional Trump & great power competition, this type of move was predictable & why the whole narrative about the critical minerals "opportunity" for producer countries is bs. Let's stop pretending that critical minerals are the golden ticket for devpt. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I'm thrilled to be part of this initiative and continue to publish with WPR!

Trump "clearly doesn't think we should lead the world. Look, America is not perfect, but I stand with the majority of Americans who believe we are still exceptional, unparalleled." - Slotkin's response to Trump. Even in these turbulent times, the Dems are not learning: US exceptionalism ain't it.

Today, CIDOB's research team discussed the role of the Global South in the current global order with @audedarnal.bsky.social, founder and leader of the 'Global South in the World Order' Project at the Stimson Center. Read her contribution to the 2025 #CIDOBYearbook 🔗 bit.ly/CIDOBYearboo...

Could Trump make a deal with Putin re: Ukraine that includes, BRICS and the dedollarization agenda in exchange? Trump would also hit China thus doing, and successfully push the Europeans to step up their defense spending. Sounds like it could be a win on all fronts. foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/25/c...

The CARICOM Summit started yday. "Former colonial powers must apologise and pay compensation for their historic role in the enslavement of Africans, Grenadian Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen." www.reuters.com/world/caribb...

Overlooking the continuation of the US global war on terrorism leaves the field free for the Trump admin to continue to implement policies that violate human rights on both US and foreign soil and bend international and domestic law in the name of natsec. www.stimson.org/2025/testing...

For a country that, less than a year ago, wanted to preserve "the liberal world order," the US is successful at taking it apart. Perhaps Western countries that are trying to navigate this mess will now agree that a more balanced international system is favorable to them too.

Good article by Kishore Mahbubani about "how irrelevant Europe has become, even when its geopolitical interests are at stake." "What shocks many in the world is that Europeans didn’t anticipate the quagmire they’re in." Same perspective from DC. foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/18/e...

South Africa is presiding over the G20 this year and it is also a leader within the BRICS. Check out our Q&A with Sanusha Naidu on what this means for global governance reform www.stimson.org/2025/a-discu...
