As the European Union seeks to hedge against an unpredictable Washington, it should avoid turning toward Beijing, argue @heidirediker.bsky.social and @lianafix.bsky.social. China still poses economic and security threats to Europe—and “the EU still doesn’t have a China card to play.”

Washington is dangerously dependent on Beijing for critical minerals, metals, and rare-earth elements—resources that all “play a vital role in the United States’ peacetime economy and national security,” writes @heidirediker.bsky.social.

U.S. support is crucial for Ukraine, and it is also a great opportunity for the U.S. in its self-interest. Fabulous piece by @heidirediker.bsky.social - The Art of a Good Deal: Ukraine’s Strategic Economic Opportunity for the United States on.cfr.org/4g8e5W5 via @CFR_org
