** $300 billion
------------------------------------------------------------
The United States’ trade deficit with China at the end of the Trump administration is roughly where it was at the end of the Obama administration, at over $300 billion. Despite this burden, President Biden has room for policy innovation.

** 5 months
------------------------------------------------------------
The Biden administration has only five months left of the deadline for completing the negotiations and defining a new structure for virtually every aspect of Afghan governance. Not a single detail of such an agreement now exists.

** 44%
------------------------------------------------------------
The effects of Covid-19 in sub-Saharan Africa are estimated to increase urban poverty by 44%. For those aiming to improve food security in the long term, humanitarian aid should expand to include urban residents.

** 356%
------------------------------------------------------------
Brazilian investments in the United States grew 356 percent between 2008 and 2017, reaching $42.8 billion. Creating a binational organization to institutionalize the Brazil–U.S. relationship would further deepen economic ties.
