🌐 We just returned from an inspiring trip to New York City, where we met with many of the Brookings Institution’s dedicated donors. Philanthropy at Brookings helps make this possible by shaping how people understand each other and even “agree to disagree” on the most important issues of our time.

In order for Trump’s shift on Ukraine policy to be real and lasting, “he needs to change the dynamics on the battlefield so Putin can’t win,” Thomas Wright argues. “Doing that will require him to overcome his administration’s internal resistance.”

⚖️ Last month, the ICC authorized an arrest warrant for former Philippines President Duterte, who is accused of the crime against humanity of murder in relation to the “war on drugs.” My just-published @brookings.edu commentary discusses this dramatic development. www.brookings.edu/articles/why...
Why did the Philippines turn over its former president to the ICC?
If the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte’s case is any indication, a leader’s streak of avoiding accountability can run out.
