Trump’s foreign policy frustrations are piling up

Trump's foreign policy frustrations are piling up

Every president thinks they can change the world – and Donald Trump has an even greater sense of personal omnipotence than his recent predecessors. But it's not working out too well for the 47th president. Trump might intimidate tech titans to toe the line and use government power to try to bend institutions like Harvard University and judges, but some world leaders are harder to bully. He keeps being ignored and humiliated by Russian President Vladimir Putin who is defying the US effort to end the war in Ukraine. Russian media is now portraying Trump as the tough talker who always blinks and never imposes consequences. The president also thought that he could shape China to his will by facing down leader Xi Jinping in a trade war. But he misunderstood Chinese politics. The one thing an authoritarian in Beijing can never do is bow down to a US president. US officials say now they'refrustratedthat China hasn't followed through on commitments meant to deescalate the trade conflict. As with China, Trump backed down in his tariff war with the European Union. Then Financial Times commentator Robert Armstrong enraged the president by coining the termTACO trade— "Trump Always Chickens Out." Everyone thought that Trump would be on the same page as Benjamin Netanyahu. After all, in his first term he offered the Israeli prime minister pretty much everything he wanted. But now that he's trying to broker peace in the Middle East, Trump is finding thatprolonging the Gaza conflict is existential for Netanyahu's political career,much like Ukraine for Putin. And Trump's ambition for an Iranian nuclear deal is frustrating Israeli plans to use a moment of strategic weakness for the Islamic Republic to try to take out its reactors militarily. Powerful leaders are pursuing their own versions of the national interest that exist in a parallel reality and on different historical and actual timelines to shorter, more transactional, aspirations of American presidents. Most aren't susceptible to personal appeals with no payback. And after Trump's attempts to humiliate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in the Oval Office, the lure of the White House is waning. Trump spent months on the campaign trail last year boasting that his "very good relationship" with Putin or Xi would magically solve deep geopolitical and economic problems between global powers that might be unsolvable. He's far from the first US leader to suffer from such delusions. President George W. Bush famously looked into the Kremlin tyrant's eyes and "got a sense of his soul." President Barack Obama disdained Russia as a decaying regional power and once dismissed Putin as the "bored kid in the back of the classroom." That didn't work out so well when the bored kid annexed Crimea. More broadly, the 21st century presidents have all acted as though they're men of destiny. Bush came to office determined not to act as the global policeman. But the September 11 attacks in 2001 made him exactly that. He started wars in Afghanistan and Iraq — which the US won, then lost the peace. And his failed second term goal to democratize the Arab world never went anywhere. Obama tried to make amends for the global war on terror and travelled to Egypt to tell Muslims it was time for "a new beginning." His early presidency pulsated with a sense that his charisma and unique background would in itself be a global elixir. Joe Biden traveled the globe telling everyone that "America is back" after ejecting Trump from the White House. But four years later, partly due to his own disastrous decision to run for a second term, America — or at least the internationalist post-World War II version – was gone again. And Trump was back. Trump's "America First" populism relies on the premise that the US has been ripped off for decades, never mind that its alliances and shaping of global capitalism made it the most powerful nation in the planet's history. Now playing at being a strongman who everyone must obey, he is busily squandering this legacy and shattering US soft power — ie. the power to persuade — with his belligerence. The first four months of the Trump presidency, with its tariff threats, warnings of US territorial expansion in Canada and Greenland and evisceration of global humanitarian aid programs show that the rest of the world gets a say in what happens too. So far, leaders in China, Russia, Israel, Europe and Canada appear to have calculated that Trump is not as powerful as he thinks he is, that there's no price for defying him or that their own internal politics make resistance mandatory.

David Hogg draws attacks from both sides as his star rises

David Hogg draws attacks from both sides as his star rises

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg is seeing his political star rise — along with the number of attacks lobbed at him from both parties. Hogg has drawn ire and praise from Democrats for his move to get involved in the party's congressional primaries, part of what he says is an effort to bring about generational change. Republicans, meanwhile, have long sought to turn him into a foil. And now that the 25-year-old activist-turned-party-leader finds himself at the center of a feud among Democrats, the GOP sees a golden opportunity. "Someone brought up to me today that your average voter doesn't know who David Hogg is," said one national Republican operative. "What's your strategy? Why are you guys talking about him so much?" "It's the most obvious point to show the national media, which is the Hogg wing taking over the Democratic Party," the operative continued. Hogg has seen his profile steadily grow since he first burst onto the political scene following the 2018 school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., when he was a senior. He quickly became one of the leading voices of the gun control movement and later co-founded March for Our Lives. In February, he was elected a vice chair of the DNC. And in April, he made waves when his group Leaders We Deservelaunched a $20 million initiativeaimed at primarying incumbent Democrats in safe House seats with the hope of electing a new generation of members. Hogg explicitly noted that the group would not target front-line members or members in competitive districts. So far, the group has only publicly endorsed one candidate, backing Illinois state Sen. Robert Peters (D) in the open seat race for the state's 2nd Congressional District. But Hogg's decision to engage in the primaries has drawn criticism. While many members of the party acknowledge that Democrats need to do a better job of paving the way for new voices and a cohort that's more responsive to the party's needs, others have criticized him for overseeing the effort while serving as a DNC leader. Now, the Gen Z firebrand is contending with the possibility of losing his DNC position altogether. Members of the organization's Rules and Bylaws Committee decided earlier this month that they would hold an electronic vote in June to determine whether they should redo the elections of the vice chair positions won by Hogg and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta. The decision was made after one of the candidates who lost, Kalyn Free, challenged the way the election was conducted. Free's challenge is unrelated to Hogg's efforts to primary Democratic incumbents. Hogg has criticized the move, saying it's "impossible to ignore the broader context" in which it's being implemented — a nod to the criticism of his primary efforts. Other Democrats have pushed back on Hogg's claims, including Kenyatta. "David's first statement out of the gate was, here's the Democratic Party doing some maniacal thing to push me out because of what he's doing with his PAC," Kenyatta saidin an interview with MSNBCearlier in May. "David knows that that is not true." Inan interview with Fast Company, Hogg did not go into detail about his conversations with Kenyatta but said he sees their disagreement as a "strategic" one. Howard Chou, a DNC member from Colorado who voted for Kenyatta but not Hogg during the initial vice chair election, praised Hogg and his ascension within the party, saying that for Hogg "to rise to a level that he's gotten to is pretty impressive, to be honest." But Chou acknowledged Hogg's DNC vice chair tenure "can be seen as tumultuous" and said he disagreed with the idea of engaging in primaries as an official. "He's done some revolutionary things, but we should still hold to standards and rules of … what we're doing here … we're the governing body of the national Democratic Party," Chou said. DNC Chair Ken Martin, who has lauded Hogg as an "amazing young leader" and said he had "great respect" for him, hasalso told reportershe's against Hogg primarying members while holding the vice chair position. "No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election," Martin said on a press call last month. Some Democrats are more conflicted. For Paul Eckerstrom, senior vice chair of the Arizona Democratic Party and a former DNC member, it's a question he has struggled with. "Whether a challenger in a primary is successful or not, I think it's probably a good thing even for the sitting congressperson to at least, you know, pay attention to their constituency, pay attention to certain issues and not get complacent," Eckerstrom said. "So I have a hard time criticizing David for doing what he's doing." At the same time, Eckerstrom added, "maybe Ken's got a point" about not primarying members while being a sitting DNC member. Hogg has defended his plans and says Democrats need to better meet the moment as the party looks to reset heading into 2026 and 2028. "We can't just hope that Donald Trump screws everything up so much that voters come begging back to us for any alternative." hetold Fast Company. "We don't want people to feel like they're just voting for the less bad of two options. What we're trying to do is light a fire under everybody's ass in our party. And frankly, if that makes you uncomfortable, maybe you should question whether or not you should run." Still, the drama surrounding Hogg and Free's efforts to challenge the election results are threatening to deepen divisions within the party as Democrats look to win back the House and possibly the Senate next year. Republicans, for their part, can't get enough of Hogg. The party has sought to paint Hogg as a liability for Democrats, tying him to every young, progressive Democrat primarying an incumbent. "If he wants to work to elect more Democrat crazies and encourage more wokeism and nonsense, I'd say fantastic," said Brian Seitchik, an Arizona Republican strategist and alum of President Trump's campaign. Democrats do not necessarily look at Hogg as a threat to their incumbents. While they argue Hogg has seen major success in the activist space in co-founding March for Our Lives, some Democrats note he is not the only influential player in the party and still has more experience to gain. "He's an unbelievably talented activist and advocate, and he certainly has the ear of many influential people and in the progressive movement he's an all-star," said one Democratic strategist. However, the strategist added that they did not understand how Hogg's group primarying other Democrats would be beneficial to the party. "He's leading an organization that is publicly calling for primaries against longstanding Democrats on the basis of are they good? Like let's define that," the strategist said.

Panthers-Oilers Stanley Cup Final rematch has plenty of intrigue

Panthers-Oilers Stanley Cup Final rematch has plenty of intrigue

The defending championFlorida Panthersand theEdmonton Oilersare meeting for the second consecutive year in the Stanley Cup Final. Same old, same old, right? Not quite. Though the core players, coaches and goaltenders are the same, both teams have made important additions, most notably the Panthers. They were aggressive at the trade deadline, addingAll-Star forward Brad Marchandanddefenseman Seth Jonesto join their offseason depth acquisitions. The Oilers have surrounded their stars with a few different depth players and the team has honed its defensive game. "It's going to be an incredible battle again," said Panthers forward Sam Reinhart, who scored last season's series-clinching goal. Here's what's intriguing about the Stanley Cup Final, whichopens on Wednesdayin Edmonton, Alberta (8 p.m. ET, TNT, truTV). It didn't start that way with the Panthers taking a 3-0 lead in the series and needing one more victory to clinch their first championship. But the Oilers didn't make it easy. They crushed the Panthers 8-1 in Game 4 and scored five goals in both Games 5 and 6 to tie the series. Just when it seemed the Panthers might be reeling, they found their way again in Game 7 and picked up a2-1 victory for the title. The Oilers star has become the NHL's best player after he was drafted No. 1 overall in 2015. Three MVPs, five scoring titles, one goal title, seven All-Star appearances, thegame-winning goal in the 4 Nations Face-Off. The only thing missing is a Stanley Cup ring. He came close last year. He broke Wayne Gretzky's NHL record with 34 assists in a playoff year and totaled 42 points. That made him a rare Conn Smythe Trophy (playoff MVP) winner from the losing team, but he stayed with his teammates rather than accept the individual award. That Game 7 loss has driven him and the team. He's leading the league in playoff assists and points again and had a crucial goal in theseries clincher vs. the Dallas Stars. MCDAVID BEAUTY ON THE BREAKAWAY 😮‍💨GAME 5 CONTINUES TO DELIVER 🍿pic.twitter.com/hFpoeakdsJ — ESPN (@espn)May 30, 2025 The Panthers captain is one of the top defensive forwards in the league and is favored to win his third Selke Trophy. Linemate Sam Reinhart is also up for the award. That line could be deployed against McDavid or Leon Draisaitl, though Edmonton will have the last line change in four of the games. Barkov had his own special move in the Panthers'series clincher vs. the Carolina Hurricanes. This goal hasn't received the recognition it deserves.Tied late in the third period of an elimination game Sasha Barkov has the skill and ability to shake off the Canes defender to make this beautiful pass in front.Such a smart, skilled player.pic.twitter.com/JsZeZGE2Ob — Adam (@AGBRSports)May 30, 2025 No Canadian team has won the Stanley Cupsince the 1993Montreal Canadiens. A Canadian team has been to the Final eight times since then, including this year. The Oilers pushed the series to seven games in their last two visits. Edmonton won the Stanley Cup five times (1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1990) before the Canada drought began. The state of Florida has become a hockey hotbed with theTampa Bay Lightningreaching the Final from 2020-22 (winning the first two years) and the Panthers reaching from 2023-25. Win a second consecutive title and the Panthers dynasty talk could start. They're deep and have multiple-time All-Star Marchand on the third line. It might be hard to keep the team together because Sam Bennett (league-best 10 goals), Marchand, Aaron Ekblad and others are pending unrestricted free agents, and goalie Sergei Bobrovsky has one more year left on his deal. But the salary cap is going up, giving the Panthers flexibility. TheDetroit Red Wingsbeat thePittsburgh Penguinsin 2008 and the Penguins returned the favor the following year to give Sidney Crosby his first title. The same thing happened in 1983 and 1984. TheNew York Islandersswept the Oilers for their fourth title in a row. But Edmonton won in 1984 as Wayne Gretzky and company began their own dynasty. The 2010-11 rookie of the year never made the playoffs in his first 13 NHL seasons. But he did this season after signing with the Oilers in the offseason, only to be a healthy scratch after suiting up in the playoff opener. However, aninjury to Zach Hymangave him an opportunity to play again. He scored in his return to the lineup. The netminder got to Game 7 of the final last year but goaltending wasn't considered an Oilers strength heading into this postseason. Skinner was benched after two playoff games and backup Calvin Pickard won six in a row. But an injury to Pickard put Skinner back in the net, and he finished off theVegas Golden Knightswithback-to-back shutouts. He alsooutplayed Stars goalie Jake Oettingerin the conference final. Florida's Paul Maurice has made the Final in his first three seasons with the Panthers. Edmonton's Kris Knoblauch has done it his first two seasons as an NHL head coach. Both are strong at adjustments. Witness how last year's series had such wild swings. Those adjustments have continued his year. Maurice switched out his fourth line after losing the first two games in the second round before his team won in seven games. Knoblauch benched Skinner to give the goalie a chance to reset. Both coaches are highly quotable. Nine Panthers took part in the4 Nations Face-Off, with Matthew Tkachuk (USA), Bennett, Marchand and Reinhart (Canada), Barkov and others (Finland) and Gustav Forsling (Sweden) leading the way. Edmonton had three players, led by Canada's McDavid. Draisaitl will play for Germany in 2026 and other players from these teams could make the Olympics. The biggest stories, every morning.

Doué's sensational Champions League performance for PSG launches him into a new dimension

Doué's sensational Champions League performance for PSG launches him into a new dimension

PARIS (AP) — Translate Désiré Doué's name into English and you get the words "coveted" and "gifted." Both seem highly appropriate, considering how the 19-year-old's stunning performance for Paris Saint-Germain inSaturday's Champions League finallaunched him into soccer's stratosphere, making Doué a player every team would love to have. Doué scored with two clinical finishes in a 5-0 rout of Inter Milan after setting up PSG's first goal with a remarkable piece of close control. Controlling the ball on his left foot and spinning in one swift movement inside the penalty area, he then effortlessly switched feet and passed with his right to Achraf Hakimi. "I really don't have the words to describe how I feel. What we did is magical. We showed we are a great side collectively," said Doué, who turns 20 on Tuesday. "There are a lot of young players in the side who still need to improve, I am among them." Doué improving is quite a scary thought, given how good he already is. A game-changing ability When Doué joined PSG from Rennes for around 50 million euros ($55 million) in the offseason, it appeared a hefty fee for an unproven young player. Except for the fans who closely followed Ligue 1, he was largely unknown in France and beyond. Furthermore, his return of eight goals in 76 games hardly suggested he would become a dangerous scorer. But Rennes is one of the best youth academies in European soccer. Doué's PSG teammateOusmane Dembélécame through the ranks there as didMathys Telbefore joiningBayern Munich. PSG coachLuis Enrique, who coached Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Neymar when Barcelona won the Champions League in 2015, saw a game-changing ability in Doué. He was proved right. Doué's emergencein the second part of the season saw him take goal-scoring winger Bradley Barcola's place in the starting lineup. It also coincided with PSG's revival in the Champions League after a difficult group stage where the club lost to Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and Bayern. Doué held his nerve in the penalty shootout win against Liverpool in March, scoring the decisive kick in emphatic style to send PSG into the quarterfinals. Later that month, he also scored for France in a penalty shootout win in the Nations League. Doué kept improving in the big games Doué equalizedin the quarterfinal first leg against Aston Villa in Paris andscored five goalsin the competition. Overall he scored 15 goals for PSG this season, including spectacular curlers from outside the penalty area with his right foot. His silky close control, allied to an ability to wrong-foot defenders, made him a vital part of PSG's intricate approach play, particularly in confined spaces. His unorthodox dribbling is often brilliant, but does not always come off, so he reigned it in. "I sometimes overdo it a bit, but I try to keep my personality. When you play, you know there are areas where you have to build, release the ball, and others where you have more freedom," Doué said. "I analyze my matches and my training sessions a lot. I try to always maintain my discipline, and I hope that will take me to the very, very high level." Doué said that back in April. On Saturday night he achieved it, and joinedBarcelona's 17-year-old prodigy Lamine Yamalamong the most coveted young players in world soccer. They could face each other on Thursday, when France plays Spain in the Nations League semifinals. Both have the soccer world at their feet. ___ AP soccer:https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
