Deep Dish on Global Affairs

The past year has made one thing clear: this version of Trump on the world stage is different. From the Caribbean to Europe to America's own institutions, familiar rules don't feel so fixed anymore. The Guardian's Jonathan Freedland looks back at the moments that defined Trump's year so far and why the next one could be even more dramatic.

Trump's First Year Back: What Stood Out

Human Rights Day lands as conflict is rising and accountability is fading. Big-power tensions are shaking old norms, and new technologies are changing the rules. So, are human rights in retreat—or is this just a familiar cycle? Kenneth Roth, former head of Human Rights Watch, helps us make sense of it.

Human Rights in Retreat? Kenneth Roth Weighs In

Defense is evolving fast—AI, drones, cyber threats, and autonomous weapons. The U.S. has led for decades, but China is closing in. Former Deputy Secretary of Defense Kath Hicks breaks down how the Pentagon is adapting, where it's falling behind, and what's at stake.

Can the U.S. Keep Its Edge on the Battlefield?

Sudan is now the world's largest humanitarian crisis—bigger than Gaza and Ukraine combined—yet it remains one of the least covered and least funded. Martin Griffiths, former UN Under‑Secretary‑General for Humanitarian Affairs, explains why a ceasefire has remained out of reach and whether global pressure can still make a difference.

Can a Ceasefire Stop Sudan's Crisis?

President Trump's second-term national security strategy is coming, and it could reshape U.S. foreign policy from China to Europe to the Middle East. Nadia Schadlow, former Deputy National Security Advisor and architect of Trump's original Strategy, breaks down what's changed, what's stayed the same, and what it all means for allies and rivals under Trump 2.0.

Inside Trump's National Security Playbook

East Asia's biggest powers are getting older — and smaller. China, Japan, and South Korea are seeing shrinking workforces and aging populations, with fewer young people to fill their armies or their factories. Andrew Oros, author of Asia's Aging Security, and public opinion expert Craig Kafura discuss how population decline is changing East Asia and whether technology could help fill the gap.

Are Changing Demographics the Next Global Power Shift?

The Arctic's heating up—literally and politically. Melting ice is turning a once-remote region into a stage for global power. Experts Kenneth Rosen and Anna Wieslander unpack how Russia, China, NATO, and the US are all racing for influence, and why what happens up there could shape the rest of the world.

The Arctic Is Heating Up. So Is the Competition to Control It

Tensions between Canada and the US are back in the headlines after new tariffs followed a controversial Ottawa ad. Experts Roland Paris and Robert Howse break down how Canada's new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, is navigating this turbulent moment and what it means for Canada's economy, identity, and role on the world stage.

Trump—Canada's Friend or Foe?

After months of diplomatic outreach, President Trump has abruptly shifted course on Venezuela—from covert CIA operations and expanded military activity in the Caribbean, to publicly backing Venezuela's opposition leader. Is this a crackdown on drugs and migration, or part of a broader strategy reshaping US policy in South America? Economist Francisco Rodríguez explains the political, economic, and human stakes of Washington's evolving approach.

What's Behind Trump's Venezuela Shift?

China's next move could reshape the global balance of power. As tensions spike over trade, tech, and alliances, the world is watching closely. Georgetown professor Evan Medeiros explains what's coming next and why it matters.

Inside China's Global Ambitions

Almost every conversation about China is framed as an all-out competition—but expert Jessica Chen Weiss argues that reflexive rivalry is making America weaker, not stronger. She breaks down why resilience matters more than dominance, how strategic integration protects US interests, and why "beating" China shouldn't be the ultimate goal.

Why Beating China Might Be the U.S.' Wrong Focus
