presidency. But a new uncertainty will hang over this weekend’s
meeting, as Beijing braces for the return of President-elect Donald

Biden has “demonstrated that our two countries can and must manage

What Russia and Ukraine Want from a Second Trump Presidency - The New

Eight years ago, after the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, the mood
in Moscow was one of lucky disbelief. In Donald Trump, Russian
officials saw a transactional businessman who spoke in the language of
national interests, not valuesVladimir Putins kind of leader.
Margarita Simonyan, the head of RT, the Russian state channel,
declared that she would drive around the streets of Moscow waving an
American flag. A nationalist politician threw a party in the offices
of the Duma, with champagne toasts. For Russia, however, Trumps first
term turned out to be a disappointment: the U.S. introduced more
sanctions, expelled Russian diplomats, closed Russian consulates
across the U.S., and delivered antitank Javelin missiles to Ukraine.

Opinion | Enough

“normal” Americans have been forgotten as unchecked progress
reshapes the world they want — a white, middle-class, heterosexual
world — into something inhospitable and unrecognizable. Mr. Trump
lacks vision because he lacks imagination and empathy. He cares about
himself and leads accordingly, surrounding himself with people who
will enthusiastically stroke his ego and make him feel like the king
he clearly wishes to be.
