“For decades American diplomats have urged the UN to go on a diet ... the Trump Administration is testing whether a starvation diet will get the fastest and most dramatic results.” I spoke with @CDNAffairs about the state of the UN: canadianaffairs.news/2026/07/01/sta…
Looking forward to ASF next month!
We are excited to announce more speakers for the 2026 #AspenSecurity Forum: @KoriSchake, Stephen E. Biegun, @EroComfort, @RahmEmanuel, @FranckenTheo, @kaupo_rosin, @LizEconomy, Jack Jacobs, and @SG_OEA_OAS Albert Ramdin. Visit our website to apply to attend:
1/ the short answer is “no”. The main purpose of the agreement was to demobilize FARC combatants and it did: around 13,000 people disarmed. Of those, around 90 per cent remain in civilian life. Violence has never dropped as dramatically as after 2016. peaceaccords.nd.edu

📍 لجنة العلاقات الخارجية في مجلس الشيوخ ستناقش مشروع القانون حول #السودان (ادناه) يوم الاربعاء الساعة ١٠ صباحا" بتوقيت واشنطن.
🚨 قيادات جمهورية وديمقراطية في مجلس الشيوخ تطرح مشروع قانون جديد حول #السودان بعنوان "قانون السلام في السودان" 📌 يدعو وزير الخارجية إلى تقييم ما إذا كانت الجهات المسلحة في السودان تستوفي معايير تصنيفها "ارهابيين عالميين مصنفين بشكل خاص (SDGT)" 📌يمنح الإدارة نظاماً محدثاً
🚨@SenateForeign Relations Chairman Risch notes the Committee will consider his recently introduced bipartisan PEACE in Sudan Act (S. 4726) next week alongside other Africa-related legislation. Under consideration: - S.4726, - Preventing External Aggression and Conflict Escalation (“PEACE”) in Sudan Act of 2026 - S.4577, - Reassessing the United States-Tanzania Bilateral Relationship Act, with an amendment in the nature of a substitute foreign.senate.gov/hearings/busin…
I look forward to SFRC considering the PEACE in Sudan Act next week. The efforts of both the Senate and House this month reflect the urgency of addressing the crisis in Sudan. semafor.com/article/06/11/…
It was a great honor to join the opening panel of the 2026 Oslo Forum, alongside H.E. President Ruto of Kenya @WilliamsRuto, Norwegian Foreign Minister Eide @EspenBarthEide, Dr. Comfort Ero @EroComfort, and the BBC’s Lyse Doucet @bbclysedoucet. We had an engaging discussion about how political leadership, motivated mediators, and innovative partnerships can drive mediation and efforts for peace. Remarking on the United States’ mediation efforts around the world, I noted the complex challenges of modern conflicts and peacemaking, including generating political will among warring parties (who embrace the status quo of conflict) and navigating webs of external actors driving or enabling conflict. I was proud to highlight how the United States leverages the leadership and pragmatism of @POTUS in finding creative solutions for peace, as well as how we use partnerships with countries and organizations around the world to find innovative solutions for peace.
At 8am EST tomorrow, 6/10, @le2huong will moderate a conversation between @j3nnyt0wn, @Dest_Pyongyang, and @WilliamYang120 that unpacks the Xi-Kim summit and its implications for security on the Korean Peninsula. crisisgroup.org/how-we-work/ev…
NDAA markup is here. HASC will spend all day and night debating hundreds of amendments. A few highlights: —Seth Moulton and Dems will push to cut $150B from the topline —Ronny Jackson wants to codify War Dept name —Pat Ryan has an amendment to block further $ for the Iran war
Frank Garcia has been confirmed as Assistant Secretary of State (African Affairs).
Confirmed, 46-43: Confirmation of the en bloc nominations provided for under the provisions of S.Res.690: Executive Calendar #s: 615, 616, 617, 618, 619, 620, 621, 622, 623, 624, 648, 649, 650, 652, 653, 654, 664, 665, 666, 667, 668, 675, 676, 677, 678, 679, 680, 681, 682, 683,
It would be tough to find anyone on the streets of #Venezuela who has noticed any benefit so far. And the argument might be more convincing if the were transparency - at both the U.S. and Venezuelan ends - regarding the flow of funds. Instead there is opacity.
SECRETARY RUBIO: For the first time in over a decade the wealth of Venezuela is benefitting the people of Venezuela. It is in a better place today than it was four months ago, but it needs to stay on that path.
Congress is back from recess and faces another stacked defense agenda on the Hill this week, including: Tuesday, Sec Def Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Chairman Kaine and acting DOD Comptroller Hurst will appear before House and Senate defense spending panels. Around the same time, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and Vice CoS LaNeve will be in the building speaking to Senate Armed Services. Later that day, Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao will be here. On Thursday, Senate Armed Services will hear from CENTCOM chief Cooper, and AFRICOM chief Anderson. Expect tons of questions on Iran, munitions. Also interesting on Thursday, House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe will hold a hearing on "securing NATO's eastern frontier."
Thanks to @amanpour for bringing our @CrisisGroup OpEd in the @nytimes to the attention of #Haiti’s PM @citoyendidier. Whatever security gains the GSF attains need to be consolidated by a demobilization process that will require transparent talks with the gangs.
DOD comptroller tells HASC the Iran war (Operation Epic Fury) has cost $25 billion so far
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine will testify Thursday at Senate Armed Services on the Trump administration’s $1.5T defense budget, a Senate aide familiar confirms. They’ll be on the Hill twice this week: HASC on Wednesday, SASC on Thursday
In a blog post for @CrisisGroup, I draw on surveys by @pewresearch, @CarnegieEndow, and @ChicagoCouncil to explore the gap between how many policymakers frame U.S.-China relations and how much of the public does, especially younger Americans. crisisgroup.org/anb/united-sta…
House Armed Services Committee has officially notified a full hearing on the Pentagon budget request for April 29, 10:00am. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine will testify -- their first public Hill appearances since the start of the Iran war.
Told @WSJ: The mixed messaging from Tehran on the status of the Strait is more a reflection of a truly incongruous U.S. stance than infighting in Tehran. wsj.com/world/middle-e…
