“Starmer and the Labour Party have been trying to build links to Trump world and now to the Trump administration in waiting. I think you can see the appointment of Peter Mandelson as the next ambassador in that light. Somebody who is the ultimate sort of smooth political operator. Will it work? They're not natural soulmates on a lot of issues. But equally, Trump does seem to have a sort of soft spot for the U.K.”

“What we can be assured of is that the Trump administration is not interested in the establishment of a fully sovereign Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, and is not against Israel's plans to annex large swaths of the West Bank. In fact, some reports suggest that the Trump administration may have promised Netanyahu US support for the annexation of certain areas of the West Bank in exchange for his acceptance of the ceasefire deal, which Israel may not even follow through past phase 1. In such a scenario, if it indeed transpires, Trump gets what he wants, which is a political victory, and Netanyahu gets what he wants, which is the continued settler colonisation of Palestine.”

“In October, Trump vowed to not let the EU 'take advantage of our companies', and Vice-president elect JD Vance has also stated that the US could drop support for NATO if the EU further regulates X. As a result, the Trump administration could lobby European leaders to prevent the commission from punishing X. Moreover, if the EU does impose the fine, Trump and Vance are likely to support Musk and denounce the fines as illegitimate. Musk could also use the platform itself to mobilise citizens and far-right parties to raise the political cost for EU decision-makers pursuing the crackdown.”

“The incoming Trump administration is trying to stir up problems because they feel they may more easily have their way with Greenlanders alone than, with the Danes. Political parties in Greenland are pro-independence, but what differs between different parties is their timing schedule. If you are really radically pushing for this, then you might think that US money can actually create a quick route to independence.”

“In any event, the government is likely to survive until the end of the first phase of the deal. But Mr. Netanyahu may have to decide between his parliamentary majority and his relationship with the incoming administration in Washington, with Mr. Trump and Saudi Arabia perhaps offering him the opportunity to burnish his legacy. I think his mind is already in the next big move. If he has to choose between an intimate relationship with the Trump administration and Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, he'll opt for Trump.”

“As big as a Ukraine cease-fire would be it's far from everything. The sabotage is all part of a larger pattern. Russia has turned into a revolutionary actor. Russia has turned into a country seeking to undermine the international order. And the real question is: Can a Trump administration do something about that?”

“His time in power features a mixed record of successes and failures. In some ways, the finest moment of the Trudeau government was during the first [Donald] Trump administration when they were able to use a pretty sophisticated strategy to be able to save the NAFTA agreement. They were able to renegotiate, they were able to keep most of Canada's market access, and they were able to manage through what could have been a very difficult set of economic circumstances for the country. In an era where people had despaired of the possibility of new national social programmes being established, they have been able to find a way forward. The measures may be short-lived, however. I think that all of those are potentially vulnerable to the change of government. I don't know that they survive when the Conservatives take office.”

“Israel is using up these weapons at a very fast pace, as made obvious by the enormous death and destruction that's ongoing, and Biden is ready to resupply them. If he didn't do it, I'm sure the incoming Trump administration would do so. Not a single arms transfer has ever been blocked by Congress. So, there is unfortunately very little to stop it. At this point, the arms transfers will continue unabated. Outside the White House and Congress, there is far less support for arming Israel. [Biden] is doing this in the face of widespread opposition, not just in the international community, not just from human rights groups, but according to polls, a large majority of the American people.”

“The new cease-fire also gives an oversight role to the United States, which Iran and Hezbollah have long railed against for its staunch support for Israel. Iran and Hezbollah would have only accepted such an arrangement if they were desperate to stop the war. It indicates the degree to which Iran is concerned and worried about its new vulnerability and the incoming Trump administration. The shoe that hasn't fallen yet is the obvious fact that there is a huge imbalance between Israel and Iran. Israel can attack Iran at will and Iran cannot do the same.”

“Trump has been very clear that Europeans need to ramp up their defence spending even further. He wants a three percent of GDP pledge and we can expect him to push this hard. Europeans have long recognised the need to step up on security and defence, but this realisation has not been matched by resources or true political will. The systemic threat that Russia poses to European security makes this shift extremely urgent if American engagement decreases. The first thing Europe needs to do now is to take the lead in supporting Ukraine towards victory against Russia. Europe will also be up against opposition to autonomy from Trump. He does not want the European defence market to become autonomous, which is a prerequisite for European strategic autonomy. Rather, we saw during the previous Trump administration that he pushed Europeans to buy more American defence material. Neither has he expressed any wish for the Europeans to develop their own nuclear deterrence, another necessary condition for European strategic autonomy.”

“Donald Trump's election last week for a second term in the White House is likely to be on leaders' minds in Riyadh. This summit is very much an opportunity for regional leaders to signal to the incoming Trump administration what they want in terms of US engagement. The message will likely be one of dialogue, de-escalation and calling out Israeli military campaigns in the region.”

“The Trump administration would ask Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his version of a realistic vision for peace. And if President Zelensky comes to the table and says, well we can only have peace if we have Crimea, he shows to us that he's not serious. Crimea is gone. And if that is your priority of getting Crimea back and having American soldiers fight to get Crimea back, you're on your own. What we're going to say to Ukraine is, you know what you see? What do you see as a realistic vision for peace. It's not a vision for winning, but it's a vision for peace. And let's start having the honest conversation. The reality on the ground is that the European nation states and President Biden did not give Ukraine the ability and the arms to win this war at the very beginning and they failed to lift the restrictions for Ukraine to win.”

“Normally, the U.S. would have pressured Saudi Arabia not to pursue these capabilities, but the first indicators that the Saudis were pursuing these capabilities indigenously emerged during the Trump era. The Trump administration, to put it lightly, was not interested in bearing down on Riyadh over these issues. A robust Saudi missile program would introduce new challenges to constraining other missile programs in the region. To take just one example, Iran's missiles, which are a major concern to the U.S., would be more difficult to constrain in the future without parallel constraints on a growing Saudi program.”

“Those remarks showed that the Biden administration tried to play down its rhetoric on US-China relations compared to earlier this year, as it understood that consistently emphasizing confrontation or rivalry doesn't benefit long-term bilateral relations. In diplomacy, the current US government is also trying to distinguish itself from the former Trump administration, and we welcome this change.”

“The biggest difference [between Biden and Trump on China] is that the Trump administration was more unilateralist and even weakened some of our alliances and partnerships, but the Biden administration has come in determined to build coalitions with the countries that share our values and interests.”

“North Korea's steadily advancing missile program should not come as a surprise. Kim Jong-un made defense development a major line of effort in his report addressing the eighth Party Congress in January 2021, and specifically mentioned long-range cruise missiles. The cruise missile tests also follow a report by the United Nations that North Korea restarted the plutonium-producing reactor at the Yongbyon nuclear complex this summer. The Biden administration's approach seeking a middle path between the Trump administration's dangerous maximum pressure campaign of 2017 and the subsequent summit pageantry is unlikely to stop North Korea's programs. The longer the United States waits to get serious at the negotiating table, the more technical thresholds and limitations Kim Jong-un will break through, leaving the United States in an ultimately worse-off position.”

“I wouldn't have let my 10-year-old son get away from this kind of pathetic blame-shifting. He should be less focused on trying to blame this on someone else than to solving the problem of making sure that we protect and defend American security. It's worth noting this did not happen on our watch. The Taliban takeover of Kabul will likely be inevitable because the Biden administration refused to adopt a deterrence model - unlike what the Trump administration had done. They have to understand that there's an administration with a backbone and a seriousness to execute on the things that matter and protect and defend America. Were I still the secretary of State, with the commander in chief like President Trump, the Taliban would have understood that there were real costs to pay if there were plots against the United States of America. Qassem Soleimani learned that lesson and the Taliban would have learned it as well.”
