Possibilities for a world in flux
Kurt Shillinger
Three of our stories today offer a portrait of a world in flux. The Trump administration has given nations shifting deadlines to accept new trade deals or face tariffs. Some might call its bluff. NATO member states, also under U.S. pressure, are building a basis of security that emphasizes the role of citizens in keeping their countries safe. Across the Global South, meanwhile, countries like Brazil and India are forging new institutions for shared prosperity. Flux is movement 鈥� and sometimes, new openings for progress.
