The Trump administration has effected a revolution in foreign policy. Every country will consider how to wean itself off dependence on the United States. The Post-American World is now in plain sight. My take:
America is a nation of immigrants. But it is also a nation of laws. It is finally time to turn away from performance politics and toward policy that honors both those traditions. My latest column: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…
In part 2 of my conversation with British Conservative Party leader @KemiBadenoch, she told me why she believes assimilation is crucial for immigrants in Britain.
In part 1 of my conversation, I spoke with British Conservative Party leader @KemiBadenoch about how the party of Margaret Thatcher is faring in the face of its historic defeat last year, and what it will need to do to win again.
I talked to @LHSummers about President Trump's "big, beautiful bill," which he described as "the biggest cutback in the American social safety net ... we've ever had."
Genocide doesn’t always look like the Holocaust, according to @bartov_omer. In part 2 of my conversation with the Israeli-born scholar, he responded to critics who say the war in Gaza doesn’t qualify as a genocide:
Israeli-born Holocaust scholar @bartov_omer says Israel’s war in Gaza now meets the legal definition of genocide. Part 1 of my conversation with the @BrownUniversity professor:
On deportations, President Trump has prioritized optics over outcomes. It’s hurting him politically, and it’s giving Democrats a chance to earn back trust by reclaiming the sensible center on immigration. My take:
On GPS, @ 10am & 1pm ET today on @CNN: I’ll talk w/ Israeli-born genocide scholar Omer Bartov about his “painful conclusion” on Gaza, fmr. US Treas. Sec. @LHSummers about the big questions surrounding Trumponomics, and British Conservative Party leader @KemiBadenoch about the…
On GPS, @ 10am & 1pm ET Sunday on @CNN … • Israel was founded in the wake of the Holocaust. So what does it mean when one of the world’s foremost Holocaust & genocide scholars—an Israeli-born academic who served in the IDF—says Israel’s war in Gaza now meets the legal…
"When he does realize that you need to put more pressure on Putin, he almost always walks it back": Fareed Zakaria, host of CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, weighs in on President Trump's new plan to bring Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table.
Israel's war against Hamas has devastated Gaza. But with bold leadership, a more peaceful future is still possible — and so is a Palestinian state. If President Trump made it happen, I would not hesitate to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. My take:
Will artificial intelligence help — or harm — our capacity for critical thinking? I asked @nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, in Part 3 of our wide-ranging conversation on the AI revolution:
“AI is the greatest technology equalizer we have ever seen. It lifts the people who don’t understand technology.” That’s what @nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told me in Part 2 of our wide-ranging conversation on the future of AI and its effects on the workforce:
The world’s two largest economies — the US and China — are locked in a race to dominate AI. Part 1 of my conversation with @nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on what's at stake:
President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will likely spell disaster for the US economy, and for many Trump voters. I talked to @FT global business columnist @RanaForoohar about the fallout:
Has President Trump finally lost patience with Russian President Putin? I talked about the deteriorating relations between the two leaders — and Russia's recent drone attack on Ukraine — with @AlexGabuev of @CarnegieRussia:
On GPS, @ 10am & 1pm ET today on @CNN: I’ll ask @AlexGabuev if Pres. Trump has had enough of Pres. Putin; @RanaForoohar if Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill (now law) will cause economic growth or pain; and @nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about the company’s record-setting growth & the…
On GPS, @ 10am & 1pm ET Sunday on @CNN … • This week, Pres. Trump expressed notable frustration at Russian Pres. Putin’s resistance to peace in Ukraine. What will it mean for US–Russia relations & for the ongoing war? I’ll ask @AlexGabuev, director of @CarnegieRussia • Will…
from my pal @fareedzakaria: if trump set in motion the creation of a palestinian state… “as someone who has criticized much of his chaotic and counterproductive foreign policy, i would not hesitate to nominate him for the nobel peace prize.” (seconded by me.)
