The Trump administration is using the pretext of national security to turn Washington into a military fortress

The Trump administration is relying on national security arguments to justify costly projects in Washington, including turning the East Wing into an underground military complex, extending the deployment of the National Guard at a cost of $1.4 billion, and creating the Arc de Triomphe as a platform for snipers and drones, while targeting journalists as a security threat, despite there being no evidence of a real threat against the capital.

An unpublished draft US statement criticizing plans by Britain, France and Canada to ban settlement imports

In early September, American officials in Jerusalem and Washington prepared a draft statement attributed to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, denouncing plans by Britain, France, and Canada to ban imports from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, describing them as hostile and anti-Semitic measures, but the statement was not published due to the lack of support from the White House and senior State Department officials, and Rubio contented himself with an implicit comment not to imitate the United Kingdom’s decision.

Braud: Zelensky's appearance and his assurances that Ukraine can win is the last thing Trump needs to hear

As Braud wrote in Responsible Statecraft, Zelensky's repeated statements about Ukraine's ability to achieve victory with additional support are the last thing Trump needs to hear before the midterm elections, as the latter seeks a diplomatic success that will avoid a crushing defeat, while Braud argues that ending the war could mean the end of Zelensky's political career in Ukraine.
