| News Alert: Giuliani cancels paid appearance next week at Kremlin-backed conference Posted: 27 Sep 2019 03:44 PM PDT |
| Thinly veiled threat Posted: 27 Sep 2019 02:26 PM PDT Evening Briefing President Donald Trump used a closed-door gathering with U.S. diplomats to attack former Vice President Joseph Biden while disparaging the whistleblower whose complaint triggered the Congressional impeachment inquiry. "I want to know who's the person, who's the person who gave the whistleblower the information," Trump said. He also made what appeared to be a thinly veiled threat. —Josh Petri Here are today's top storiesThe scandal is emerging as the most serious threat to Trump's presidency so far, and some, like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, are scrambling to insulate themselves (and fellow Republicans) from the damage. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo on Friday was subpoenaed by House Democrats. Even the Kremlin appears worried, saying it hopes the White House doesn't release transcripts of Trump's conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump administration officials are discussing ways to limit U.S. investors' portfolio flows into China in a move that would have repercussions for billions of dollars in investments. The discussions are occurring as Washington and Beijing negotiate a potential truce in the trade war. Trash is more important to many Russians than democracy. So Putin has declared war on garbage as his popularity wanes. Auto workers fear they may go the way of the milkman. Electric vehicles have fewer parts, require less labor to build and are gaining in popularity. Senior U.K. police officers have raised concerns that Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Brexit rhetoric is increasing the safety risk to politicians as Britain heads toward a divisive general election. It's not easy, being Warren Buffett. Hedge funds are struggling to replicate Berkshire Hathaway's reinsurance success. What's Luke Kawa thinking? The Bloomberg cross-asset reporter says the U.S. stock market has a dependency issue: it can't go up unless Treasury yields do. That's only a mild exaggeration. For the past two months, more than 75% of days in which the S&P 500 has gained coincided with a rising 10-year Treasury yield.

| News Alert: Giuliani to make paid appearance at Kremlin-backed conference that includes Putin Posted: 27 Sep 2019 02:07 PM PDT |
| Trump’s trade-warring apparently won’t rest for impeachment Posted: 27 Sep 2019 01:58 PM PDT Bloomberg Opinion Today Today's Agenda  Trade-Warring Continues, Morale Doesn't Improve Wall Street's bull case for President Donald Trump's impeachment has been that he'll shut down his trade war so he can focus on fighting for his job. Trouble is, he's apparently willing to wage both wars at once. Even as he tweeted about missing hyphens and his PERFECT CONVERSATION with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Bloomberg News reported his administration was considering curbs on U.S. investments in China. As John Authers wrote a couple of weeks ago, such a move could grievously harm China's economy and make a trade deal much less likely, among other unwanted repercussions. The stock market went from a warm green to a rich red immediately, and stayed that way. So much for the bull case. The day's action highlighted just how frazzled market nerves are after more than a year of unpredictable trade-warring. Stock indexes are still near all-time highs, but anxiety shows up in other ways. Several hyped unicorn IPOs have fizzled this year, for example, including Peloton Interactive Inc. yesterday. As Robert Burgess notes, this is a healthy sign investors won't just choke down any old money-losing commercial real-estate startup you shove at them. But it also suggests we're far from exuberant. Investors are starting to turn up their noses at parts of the junk bond market too, Robert Burgess writes in a second column. New debt issues are having a harder time finding buyers than they were just five months ago. Again, that's probably rational, but it could also hint at a broader mood shift. Similarly, survey data tracking consumer and business sentiment have softened lately, writes Noah Smith, even as "hard" economic numbers have stayed solid. Two years ago, the "soft" data were positive leading indicators. Are they foretelling the future again? More trade warring certainly won't help. L'Affaire Ukraine: The Sounds of Republican Silence Trump may be fighting for his political life, but most people assume the Republican Party will once again rush to his defense. Maybe we shouldn't be so sure, suggests Jonathan Bernstein. Over the past 48 hours, a few loyal Republicans have parroted talking points the White House helpfully distributed to everyone, but many more didn't. A couple have criticized Trump. Most have stayed mum or pretended not to have read the whistleblower's report that has Trump in so much trouble. This relative silence is ominous for Trump, Jonathan argues. The base case is still that Republicans won't vote him out of office, but the tide could turn. And all the defenses Trump's backers offer crumble under scrutiny, writes Ramesh Ponnuru. One is that the whistleblower's account of Trump pushing Ukraine to help him find dirt on Joe Biden is mostly second-hand hearsay. That's true of most whistleblower reports; they're tools to spark further investigation, which is happening now. But Trump's defenders believe this undermines the whistleblower's credibility. Unfortunately for them, Trump turned around last night and suggested the whistleblower should be executed for spying. That kind of undercuts the whole "hearsay" defense, notes Eli Lake. If this guy is so mistaken, then why execute him? Other Trump defenses consist of conspiracy theories and other fever dreams being broadcast (with some exceptions) around the clock on Fox News. Trump dines on this slurry of bile and fakery daily, which helped bring him to power but has now almost wrecked his presidency, and the GOP with it. Maybe, Jonathan Bernstein writes in a second column, Republicans should think twice about taking marching orders from an entertainment network, which has very different incentives than a political party should have. Further L'Affaire Ukraine Reading: Twilight of the Elite Cities If you've tried to use public transportation in New York City or San Francisco lately, our condolences. It's awful. Imagine living here, while also paying exorbitant rent for the privilege. These elite American cities thrived for decades because they attracted the country's brightest minds, writes Conor Sen. Somewhere along the way, though, they got arrogant and let themselves be hollowed out from the middle, leaving rich people who don't need services or affordable rent and poor people who can't campaign effectively for either. This is bad news for these cities, but if it leads to talent spreading across America, then maybe that's for the best. Telltale Charts Justin Fox notes Americans seem to have gotten the message that fruit juices and sweeteners are bad …  … and fresh fruit is good.

| Canadians nationwide flood streets to demand climate action Posted: 27 Sep 2019 01:57 PM PDT | 🍁 Wondering about those other parties on your ballot — like the Animal Projection Party or the United Party? We have some answers. It was an unprecedented day of action Friday as Canadians took to the streets to demand action on climate change in 278 demonstrations across the country. The transcript and video of the police interview were released Friday following a successful legal challenge by several media organizations to have the publication ban lifted. Of the currently registered “fringe” parties, only one has ever actually elected MPs to parliament. In 1945, the Communist Party of Canada had three sitting MPs in a 245-seat House — roughly equivalent to the support the Greens have now. Some of the waste represents enough calories to have an adult over for dinner five nights a week without adding a dime to the grocery bill. Taking care of your mental health is critical — but there's still a stigma about seeking therapy to manage your own wellbeing. In our series, we'll answer the questions you've been wondering about, and show you the ways therapy can benefit you and the people you love. 👍 You're all set. Have a great day.

| BREAKING NEWS: Democrats subpoena Pompeo as part of impeachment inquiry Posted: 27 Sep 2019 01:13 PM PDT The House Committee on Foreign Affairs subpoenaed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for documents related to President Donald Trump's interactions with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky as part of it's impeachment inquiry. The subpoena, which demands Pompeo provide documents by Oct. 4, was accompanied by a plan to depose five State Department officials, including Ambassador Kurt Volker, who reportedly arranged for Trump's personal lawyer to meet with high-level Ukrainian officials, and Marie Yovanovitch, who was removed as U.S. ambassador to Ukraine by Trump. "The subpoenaed documents shall be part of the impeachment inquiry and shared among the Committees. Your failure or refusal to comply with the subpoena shall constitute evidence of obstruction of the House's impeachment inquiry," wrote House Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and House Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings in a joint letter to Pompeo. The depositions are set to take place between Oct. 2 and Oct. 10, while Congress is out on a two-week recess.

| The Evolution of Turkish Foreign Policy (PolicyWatch 3192) Posted: 27 Sep 2019 08:48 AM PDT ERDOGAN'S EMPIRE: THE EVOLUTION OF TURKISH FOREIGN POLICY Featuring Soner Cagaptay, Amanda Sloat, Molly Montgomery, and Tomasz Hoskins Policy Forum Report
September 27, 2019 A lively discussion of how Ottoman history, pro-Western precedent, and sharp regional setbacks have shaped the Turkish leader's shifting approach to foreign affairs and relations with Washington. READ THIS ITEM OR WATCH EVENT VIDEO ON OUR WEBSITE
On September 24, Soner Cagaptay, Amanda Sloat, Molly Montgomery, and Tomasz Hoskins addressed a Policy Forum at The Washington Institute to discuss Dr. Cagaptay’s new book Erdogan’s Empire: Turkey and the Politics of the Middle East. Cagaptay is the Institute’s Beyer Family Fellow and director of its Turkish Research Program. Sloat is a Robert Bosch Senior Fellow with the Brookings Institution’s Center on the United States and Europe. Montgomery is a vice president at Albright Stonebridge Group and a former State Department advisor. Hoskins is the publisher and commissioning editor for politics at I.B. Tauris, an imprint of Bloomsbury. The following is a rapporteur’s summary of their remarks. SONER CAGAPTAY Nations that were once great empires often have an inflated sense of their heyday, making their citizens easy to inspire with appeals to the past—but also vulnerable to manipulation by politicians who can speak to this narrative. A romantic view of the collapsed Ottoman Empire continues to shape how Turks view their place in the world today, so understanding this past is essential to understanding modern Turkey. When compared with the foreign policies of his Ottoman and Turkish predecessors, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s approach to global and regional affairs represents both continuity and change. The Ottoman Westernization that began in the early nineteenth century was a strategic project driven by awareness of the state’s weakness. To revive the empire’s greatness, the sultans decided to copy institutions of statecraft from European global powers. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who established modern Turkey in 1923, further embraced this model, as did his successors. This trend continued after World War II, with Ankara turning toward Europe and the United States. While waiting for their great-power status to return, these late sultans and early presidents often allied with Western powers—with Britain through much of nineteenth century against Russia, with France through much of the interwar period against fascist Italy, and with the United States after World War II against the Soviet Union. Erdogan has picked a more unorthodox model, however. His goal is to make Turkey great as a standalone power, not as a nation that simply relies on the West. Accordingly, his foreign policy has not been monolithic. When he first came to office in 2003, he felt cornered by Turkey’s secularist establishment, including the military. He therefore sought to be a better version of his Kemalist predecessors, promoting more internationalist, pro-American, and pro-EU policies. For instance, his early initiatives included attempts to unify Cyprus and normalize ties with Armenia. That period came to an end by 2011, after Erdogan defanged the military, passed a series of laws placing the judiciary under his control, and began undermining his opponents—with help from the Gulen movement, his ally at the time. No longer boxed in by the secularists, he launched a new set of global and Middle Eastern initiatives aimed at reviving Turkey’s Ottoman-era power, with the region-wide “Arab Spring” uprisings setting the stage. Yet this policy failed, primarily because Ankara ignored the role of “historical antibodies” in the Middle East—Erdogan did not realize that many Arabs, like many Greeks, still view Turkey quite negatively as their former colonial overlord. Moreover, Ankara wound up supporting just one actor during the Arab Spring: the Muslim Brotherhood. When the group lost influence in Egypt and other countries, so did Erdogan. Turkey’s support for the Syrian opposition backfired as well, putting it at odds with Russia and Iran. Erdogan has tried to offset some of these losses in recent years, forcing Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to resign in 2016 and restoring ties with Iraq and Israel. Nevertheless, Turkey is still isolated from most of the Middle East, with the exception of Qatar. Its ties with Washington have been zigzagging, and it can no longer rely on its traditional friends in the West, leaving the country exposed to threats from Moscow. To alleviate these risks, Erdogan has entered into ad hoc deals with Russia, ranging from Syria policy to the purchase of S-400 air defense systems. President Vladimir Putin has been particularly responsive to these overtures since the failed Turkish coup of 2016, but his current courtship is serving the same purpose as Russian hostility did in the past: to bully Ankara. Erdogan has also built important relationships in Eurasia and Africa, however, so if Turkey’s economy recovers soon, he may be able to continue his recent approach while leveraging Moscow and Washington against each other. AMANDA SLOAT The current U.S.-Turkey relationship is marred by longstanding, accumulated grievances. Ankara takes issue with Washington’s refusal to extradite cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Turkish officials claim was behind the 2016 coup attempt. They are also wary of U.S. cooperation with the People’s Defense Units (YPG), the Kurdish group that controls large parts of north Syria. For their part, U.S. policymakers are increasingly questioning whether Turkey is a reliable partner given its democratic backsliding, its decision to purchase S-400s from Russia, its delay in joining the campaign to defeat the Islamic State, and other factors. Looking back, Washington was quite optimistic when Erdogan first rose to power and took steps to modernize Turkey’s economy, democracy, and bureaucracy. This sentiment was echoed in Brussels with the start of EU accession talks. Yet Turkey’s ties to the West have continuously deteriorated over the past decade, with each side trying to “muddle through” in order to maintain relations without resolving their grievances. Ankara is unlikely to link back up to the West anytime soon, so restoring relations to where they were in Erdogan’s early years is not in the cards right now. MOLLY MONTGOMERY Misconceptions about American policymaking make it difficult for Turkey to understand the U.S. government’s behavior on issues like Gulen’s extradition. As power is consolidated in Ankara, it becomes easier for Turkish officials to believe that Washington operates in the same fashion, and to see a single thread of intentionality behind discrete U.S. actions. Similarly, Washington often fails to understand the drivers of Turkish foreign policy, including how the country’s national identity and history shape Erdogan’s decisions. His foreign policy is both a reaction to Kemalism and a conscious reassertion of Turkey’s place as a Muslim and Middle Eastern power. In addition to tensions over Gulen, the YPG, and the S-400s, Washington has taken issue with Ankara’s handling of human rights, democracy, and rule of law since the attempted coup. These concerns have not yet been resolved, and are unlikely to be dealt with under Erdogan. Until these problems are fixed, there will be no genuine relinking between Turkey and the West. Yet Ankara’s East-West balancing act has become increasingly precarious, and the consequences of falling would be grave, potentially forcing Turkey to fold under Russia. TOMASZ HOSKINS A critical lesson for policymakers is that they cannot predict where things are going in Turkey until they know where they came from. The country’s rich history and often-contentious East-West relations are crucial to understanding its current politics—and to understanding the Middle East as a whole. There is a great line in Dr. Cagaptay’s book about the “in-between-ness” of modern Turkey: “From the East, Turkey looks like a Western country, and from the West, it looks like an Eastern country.” This dynamic lies at the center of how Ankara relates with its neighbors and views its place in global politics. Erdogan’s Empire provides a comprehensive education on the Turkish leader that was previously missing from the scholarly and policymaking worlds. This summary was prepared by Deniz Yuksel.

Jacques Chirac, un destin, une époque
Chère lectrice, cher lecteur,
Avec la mort de Jacques Chirac, c’est toute une époque qui s’efface : cette France de la guerre et de l’après-guerre, du gaullisme triomphant et finissant, de la décolonisation et des « trente glorieuses », de l’alternance et des cohabitations, du chômage de masse et de la mondialisation, de l’aventure européenne et de son enlisement.
De cette France-là, enthousiaste et tourmentée, ambitieuse et craintive, paradoxale en diable, Jacques Chirac aura été le miroir fidèle, si souvent brocardé et parfois adulé, effaçant les échecs vertigineux par d’improbables résurrections — ne lui permettant cependant pas d'échapper à la condamnation de la justice pour les affaires de la Ville de Paris —, changeant mille fois de masque au gré des circonstances, mais toujours porté, dans sa quête du pouvoir, par une inaltérable confiance en son destin.
Sur notre site, nos applications et dans un supplément spécial de huit pages, Le Monde vous raconte l'histoire de cet animal politique exceptionnel, mort jeudi 26 septembre, à l'âge de 86 ans. Nous vous proposons ci-dessous une sélection de nos meilleurs contenus.
Bonne lecture,

| BREAKING NEWS: House forces Trump to veto bill blocking emergency declaration on wall Posted: 27 Sep 2019 08:07 AM PDT The House voted to overturn President Donald Trump's national emergency declaration to build a border wall, sending the legislation to Trump who is sure to veto it. It's the second time that Congress has voted to block Trump's plan to divert billions in Pentagon funding to his wall and amounts to a bipartisan rebuke of the president. Eleven Senate Republicans joined Democrats earlier in the week to pass the bill. When Trump vetoes the measure, it will mark the sixth veto of his presidency.

| | RESPONDING TO THE SAUDI OIL ATTACK: A CHALLENGE FOR U.S. POLICY FEATURING Suzanne Maloney, Norman Roule, and Michael Singh FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2019
Live event broadcast on our website
Estimated time 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM (ET)* *Note special early start time | |

| | | | | After months of increasing tensions, the contest between Iran and the United States escalated dramatically with the spectacular air attack on Saudi oil installations. So far, the Trump administration has sent mixed signals about its response, with the president warning that America's military was "locked and loaded" and then suggesting that energy independence means events in the Gulf no longer affect U.S. interests. While the ultimate decision has powerful implications for Gulf security, it will also reverberate everywhere that America and its allies face off against Iran and its local proxies, from Yemen to Iraq to Lebanon to Gaza.
To discuss the Saudi attack, Iran's role, and options for U.S. policy, The Washington Institute is pleased to host a special mid-morning Policy Forum discussion with Suzanne Maloney, Norman Roule, and Michael Singh.
Suzanne Maloney is deputy director of the Brookings Institution's Foreign Policy Program and a senior fellow with its Energy Security and Climate Initiative, focusing on Iran and Gulf energy. She has served on the secretary of state's Policy Planning Staff, and as an external advisor to senior State Department officials on Iranian issues.
Norman Roule served for thirty-four years in the CIA, managing numerous programs relating to Iran and the Middle East. From 2008 to 2017, he served as the national intelligence manager for Iran in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, responsible for overseeing policy and activities related to the Islamic Republic. He is currently a senior advisor to the Counter Extremism Project and United Against Nuclear Iran.
Michael Singh is the Lane-Swig Senior Fellow and managing director at The Washington Institute. During the George W. Bush administration, he served as senior director for Middle East affairs at the National Security Council. He currently serves as co-chair of the congressionally mandated Syria Study Group. | |
