If President Trump seeks to “Make Americans Safe Again,” he should address the root causes of Haiti’s crisis, write @ChrisShell95 and Zuri Linetsky.
Read how he could build on 1st term initiatives to promote regional stability:

Biden and Harris ran for president as candidates of the system, right down to campaigning with Dick Cheney’s daughter, Liz.
As Democrats reckon with the future of their party, foreign policy must be part of the reckoning.

On this day in 1920, a white mob in Ocoee, Florida, lynched dozens of Black Americans and razed the Black community, because a Black man attempted to vote. calendar.eji.org/racial-inju…

Please disaggregate. #ADOS men are being vilified & it’s not even them.
Thrilled to announce that @BrookingsGov published my commentary, "Not like us? Exploring foreign-born Black men’s distinct voting patterns in the 2020 election." #blm #blackpolitics

A higher share of foreign-born Black American men voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election compared to U.S.-born and second-generation Black American men, finds @RyonCobb.

“Americans will continue to lose faith in their country’s democracy if we do not marry foreign and domestic policy in an effort to prioritise the common good over shameless profit seeking.”
My essay today in @FT on why the next era of American foreign policy must be focused on confronting and weakening concentrated economic power - in both the public and private sectors. ft.com/content/1c99b858-54d8…

The next president has an opportunity to bring change to U.S. foreign policy — but will face huge obstacles at every turn.
A pleasure to speak with @SophiaBesch alongside @CChivvis about how Harris or Trump should chart a new course.

How does race influence American voters' perspectives on the Israel-Hamas war?
A survey by @CEIPStatecraft & @YouGov shows that the partisan divide on support for a ceasefire is sharpest among White Americans, writes @ChrisShell95 👇

How are Americans thinking about foreign policy ahead of the election? What foreign policy issues are top of mind for voters, and which candidate do they believe will best manage them? @ChrisShell95 investigates in his new @CarnegieEndow article: carnegieendowment.org/resear…

Growing tensions between the U.S. & China have generated a pessimistic vision for the future of the relationship. @CEIPStatecraft’s newest compilation, edited by @CChivvis and featuring a dozen authors, takes on the question of how China and the US might coexist peacefully and lays out a roadmap for policymakers to establish a calmer, more realistic relationship.

Never in the years since the Cold War has the United States looked less like a leader of the world and more like the head of a faction — reduced to defending its preferred side against increasingly aligned adversaries, I write in @nytopinion: nytimes.com/2024/06/11/opini…

“What does #Palestine have to do with us,” some ask.
It’s all connected. We are African people. We stand against oppression everywhere.
Proud of @samoryba & @morehouse colleagues & students for placing Congo’s plight alongside Palestine, #StopCopCity & everything else today.

The movement seeking reparations for slavery and colonialism has so far been met with minimal buy-in from the former colonial powers that benefited from the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
@ChrisShell95 explains why they should engage with the movement:

When we visited @MSUDenver last year an important part of our discussion was how different communities in the U.S. view foreign policy. Important reporting from @CarnegieEndow @ChrisShell95 on how African-Americans view the Gaza conflict ... 1/

New essay with @CChivvis in @ForeignPolicy: Why it would be a mistake to judge emerging powers by the strength of their ties to China or Russia.

Do minorities—who are disproportionately working class—feel their interests are represented by the Democratic Party? If the answer were “yes,” then it would be really, really hard to explain the trend of racial realignment un-diplomatic.com/p/a-democr…

Foreign policy usually only takes up a few minutes in a State of the Union address that can stretch more than an hour. But on Thursday, when Biden delivers his annual speech to Congress, a lot is still on the line.
