  • President Trump's Remarks
    KEY FINDINGS 1. President Trump used the power of his office to pressure and induce the newly-elected president of Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 presidential election for President Trump’s personal and political benefit. KEY FINDINGS 2. In order to increase the pressure on Ukraine to announce the politically- motivated investigations that President Trump wanted, he withheld a coveted Oval Office meeting and $391 million of essential military assistance from Ukraine. KEY FINDINGS 3. President Trump’s conduct sought to undermine our free and fair elections and posed an imminent threat to our national security. KEY FINDINGS 4. Faced with the revelation of his pressure campaign against Ukraine, President Trump directed an unprecedented effort to obstruct Congress’ impeachment inquiry into his conduct. JULY 25, 2019 8:36 AM Good lunch - thanks.

  • Grønland Er Af Fundamental Strategisk Betydning for Danmark Og USA
    Grønland er af fundamental strategisk betydning for Danmark og USA - af Martin Brochstedt Olsen, Morten Hetmar Vestergaard & ansvarshavende redaktør Lars Bangert Struwe November 2019 / Introduktion Grønland udgør en national sikkerhedspolitisk interesse for USA. I Danmark forstår vi ofte ikke Grønlands geostrategiske betydning – og derfor bliver vi ved med at håndtere forholdet imellem Rigsfælleskabet og USA forkert. Igennem mere end 10 år har vi i Danmark talt om Arktis og sat Grønland ind under denne overordnede betegnelse. Vi har prioriteret den fredelige udvikling af Arktis bl.a. i form af Arctic Five og Arktisk Råd, men derved har vi mistet fokus på Grønland sikkerhedspolitisk. Det har medført en række overraskelser – som f.eks. da Trump rettede danskernes blik mod Grønland. USA er primært interesseret i Grønland, og langt mindre i hele regionen Arktis. I Danmark har vi igennem mere end 70 år søgt at køre en dobbeltpolitik om de strategiske forhold på Grønland. På den ene side har vi prøvet at holde Grønland så fredeligt som muligt, og på den anden side har vi søgt at håndtere de amerikanske interesser i Grønland. Det har gjort – og gør - at vi som ofte har svært ved at beskrive situationen på Grønland sikkerhedspolitisk. USA’s præsident Donald Trump skulle have besøgt København d. 2-3 september 2019. Det aflyste besøg satte Arktis og ikke mindst Grønland i spil på en helt ny måde. At Grønland fyldte så meget overraskede de fleste i Danmark. Formålet med dette Atlant Brief er derfor at forsøge at give læseren indblik i, hvorfor Arktis og særligt Grønland i disse år spiller en stigende rolle i international politik.

  • The U.S. South Caucasus Strategy and Azerbaijan
    THE U.S. SOUTH CAUCASUS STRATEGY AND AZERBAIJAN This article analyzes the evolution of U.S. foreign policy in the South Cauca- sus through three concepts, “soft power”, “hard power” and “smart power” which have been developed under the administrations of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama respectively. The authors also aim to identify how the US strategy towards this region has been perceived in Azerbaijan, which, due to its geographical position, energy resources and geopolitical environment, is one of the “geopolitical pivots of Eurasia”. Inessa Baban & Zaur Shiriyev* * Inessa Baban is a Ph.D candidate in geopolitics at Paris-Sorbonne University of France. She is a former visiting scholar at Center for Strategic Studies under the President of Azerbaijan. Zaur Shiriyev is a foreign policy analyst at the same think tank. The views expressed in this article are entirely personal. 93 VOLUME 9 NUMBER 2 INESSA BABAN & ZAUR SHIRIYEV he U.S. strategy towards the South Caucasus has become one of the most controversial issues of American foreign policy under the Obama administration. Most American experts argue that because of the current priorities of the U.S. government, the South Caucasus region does not get the attention that it merits. Even if they admit that none of U.S.’ interests in the Caucasus “fall under the vital category”1 there is a realization that Washington must reconsider its policy towards this region which matters geopolitically, economically and strategically. The South Caucasus, also referred as Transcaucasia, is located between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, neighboring Central Asia to the east, the Middle East to the south, and Eastern Europe to the west, hence connecting Europe to Asia.

New programs, new people, and new construction contribute to a spirit of excitement and momentum that can be felt in every corner of campus. One of the most significant developments this year was the grand opening of the Sharp Family Tourism and Education Center in October. This spectacular facility serves as the visitors’ center for our renowned collection of Frank Lloyd Wright-designed buildings, a collection that now boasts a thirteenth structure based on an original Wright design, the Usonian House. It is a stunning example of his work, and already it has attracted attention and acclaim from tourists and architecture enthusiasts around the world. The photos and article that appear inside this issue will give you just a glimpse of the Sharp Center, but to truly experience it, you must come and visit! Another construction project that is well underway goes hand in hand with a new emphasis on the performing arts at FSC: the Wynee Warden Dance Studio will be completed later this year, and it will be a wonderful home for our new program in dance. Already, we have launched a new musical theater major that will benefit from the studio’s vibrant rehearsal space.

  • Top US Officials Threaten Action on China Over Hong Kong Security
    Top U.S. Officials Threaten Action on China Over Hong Kong Secu... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/22/world/asia/trump-pompeo-c... https://nyti.ms/2AWe9KZ Top U.S. Officials Threaten Action on China Over Hong Kong Security Law Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the White House economic adviser, Kevin Hassett, signaled the Trump administration would punish China. By Michael Crowley, Edward Wong and Ana Swanson May 22, 2020 WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday that a broad new security measure proposed by China would amount to a “death knell” for Hong Kong’s political freedoms, as Trump administration officials warned of punishments — possibly including revoking the territory’s special economic and trading status. A move by the United States to end that special status would subject goods from Hong Kong to the same American tariffs now applied to ones from mainland China. Other economic and visa restrictions that Washington has imposed on China would also be applied to the semiautonomous territory. That could deal a major blow to Hong Kong’s historic role as a base for multinational companies that command global lanes of trade and commerce from a cluster of skyscrapers on the edge of the South China Sea. It would also deepen the sense of crisis forming around United States-China relations — now at their worst point in decades — in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and a 2020 presidential campaign in which China already features prominently. “If Hong Kong loses preferential trade treatment, U.S. tariffs and export controls on China would apply to Hong Kong,” said Ryan Hass, a senior Asia director on President Barack Obama’s National Security Council and former diplomat who is now at the Brookings Institution.

  • Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I
    DIVISION I 103 Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I 2001 Championships OUTDOOR TRACK Highlights Volunteers Are Victorious: Tennessee used a strong performance from its sprinters to edge TCU by a point May 30-June 2 at Oregon. The Volunteers earned their third title with 50 points, as the championship-clinching point was scored by the 1,600-meter relay team in the final event of the meet. Knowing it only had to finish the event to secure the point to break the tie with TCU, Tennessee’s unit passed the baton careful- ly and placed eighth. Justin Gatlin played the key role in getting Tennessee into position to win by capturing the 100- and 200-meter dashes. Gatlin was the meet’s only individual double winner. Sean Lambert supported Gatlin’s effort by finishing fourth in the 100. His position was another important factor in Tennessee’s victory, as he placed just ahead of a pair of TCU competitors. Gatlin and Lambert composed half of the Volunteers’ 400-meter relay team that was second. TCU was led by Darvis Patton, who was third in the 200, fourth in the long jump and sixth in the 100. He also was a member of the Horned Frogs’ victorious 400-meter relay team. TEAM STANDINGS 1. Tennessee ..................... 50 Colorado St. ................. 10 Missouri........................ 4 2.
