The White House is still considering a limited strike, but many inside the administration oppose it.

The president loves to tout the U.S.'s solid growth and booming stock market. But a confrontation with Beijing could be catastrophic.

The protests in Iran may have blown up the president's dream of shredding that country's nuclear deal.

Deficits do matter, but both political parties have been alarmist about them.

If the Trump team colluded with Moscow, we should string them up. But the left is bordering on bonkers in its hawkishness over Russia—a marked shift from decades past.

The president was more blunt about trade with his Chinese counterpart than any U.S. president ever.

Allies of Vladimir Putin paid millions of dollars to Paul Manafort as part of their effort to impose Moscow's will on neighboring Ukraine.

The president promised to drain the swamp. Instead, he hired two swamp monsters—Paul Manafort and Rick Gates—to be part of his campaign.

Doing more of the same with China—cajoling it to help while threatening to punish its companies that do business with Pyongyang—isn't working.

Insiders say the United States will remain in the Iran nuclear accord, but will soon announce that Tehran is not abiding by the terms of the deal—and try to re-negotiate it.

The president has long railed against the agreement—and claims he's made up his mind. But insiders tell Newsweek he's still mulling his options.

The strategy to thwart North Korea could work similarly to the strategy that ultimately defeated Moscow.

The North Korean leader isn't an irrational wack job. But that doesn't mean his actions won't lead to a catastrophic nuclear war.

In the White House, the battle over China is only just beginning.

During the campaign, no one could control Trump, and that was a political asset. Not anymore.

From war with North Korea to deadly ISIS attacks, Trump's generals are protecting America from its enemies—and perhaps the president.

Reining in Pyongyang is possible if—and only if—Washington is willing to offend Beijing.

As the many investigations unfold over the coming months, remember: This is not a homegrown scandal but one made in Moscow.

The pressure may build on Republicans to support an independent investigation into the Trump campaign's alleged Russia ties.

The election of Moon Jae-in, a dovish leader in South Korea, could complicate Donald Trump's plans to stop North Korea's nuclear weapons programs.

As he turns his eyes abroad, everyone knows—in e-commerce, in the cloud, in automatic payments and in Hollywood—that Ma is coming.

The second hundred days are likely to produce more evidence that Trump's is a learning Presidency.

Taking out North Korea's nuclear weapons won't be quick, and it won't be easy

From Syria to Goldman Sachs, Donald Trump is ditching Bannonism and moving closer to the American mainstream.

Trump's campaign slogan had undeniable political appeal. But as the U.S. strike in Syria shows, it couldn't survive the realities of the Oval Office.

On Thursday, the U.S. launched about 50 cruise missiles at Syrian military targets in response to a sarin gas attack on civilians in Idlib.

Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, the leaders of the two most powerful countries in the world, are meeting for the first time on Thursday.

The healthcare debacle has destroyed the two main conceits of Trump's presidency: that he's a winner and a consummate negotiator.

An exploding U.S. deficit and the devaluation of the renminbi make a trade war with China all but inevitable.

It's possible for the U.S. to get tougher on trade in a way that would benefit American workers. But you need a stiletto, not a blunderbuss.
