MUST-READS

  • U.S. Image Plummets Internationally as Most Say Country Has Handled Coronavirus Badly

    As a new 13-nation Pew Research Center survey illustrates, America’s reputation has declined further over the past year among many key allies and partners. In several countries, the share of the public with a favorable view of the U.S. is as low as it has been at any point since the Center began polling on this topic nearly two decades ago.

  • Officials: Iran weighing plot to kill U.S. ambassador to South Africa

    News of the plot comes as Iran continues to seek ways to retaliate for President Donald Trump’s decision to kill a powerful Iranian general earlier this year, the officials said. If carried out, it could dramatically ratchet up already serious tensions between the U.S. and Iran and create enormous pressure on Trump to strike back — possibly in the middle of a tense election season.

    Those concerns — stemming from U.S. support for Saudi Arabia and the Emirates as they waged a disastrous war in Yemen, using American equipment in attacks that have killed thousands of civilians — will be the subject of congressional hearings on Wednesday. House lawmakers are expected to question top State Department officials over their role in keeping weapons flowing into the conflict and burying recent internal findings on civilian casualties and the legal peril for Americans.

  • War Crimes Risk Grows for U.S. Over Saudi Strikes in Yemen

    Interviews with more than a dozen current and former U.S. government officials show that the legal fears related to the arms sales run far deeper than previously reported.

  • Oil drops on higher inventories, weak U.S. stock markets

    Oil prices fell further on Friday and were on track for a second weekly drop after U.S. stock markets tumbled and U.S. stockpiles rose unexpectedly. Brent fell 28 cents, or 0.7%, at $30.78 a barrel by 1210 GMT, and U.S. crude was down 17 cents, or 0.5%, to $37.13 a barrel.

  • Covid-19 Interrupts Flow of Foreign Students to U.S. Colleges

    Since 2016, the U.S. has been seeing declines in the number of new foreign students coming to study at colleges and universities here. Likely culprits include currency fluctuations, stronger competition from other English-speaking countries, big cutbacks to Saudi Arabia’s once-huge study-abroad program and, yes, the foreigner-unfriendly policies and rhetoric of President Donald Trump.

  • Progress in resolving Gulf Arab rift could come within weeks, U.S. official says

    There could be some progress within weeks in resolving a three year-long rift between Gulf Arab states, a senior U.S. State Department official said on Wednesday, citing signs of “flexibility” in negotiations. David Schenker, the department’s top diplomat for the Middle East, was quick to urge caution however, because there hasn’t been any fundamental shift in talks that would quickly lead to a resolution.
