Trump’s World of Peril - and Opportunity

Jan 1, 2025 | politico.com | Matthew Kaminski

Wherever I’ve gone overseas this past year, I’ve gotten mild whiplash. I think 2025 will bring a lot worse. On the one hand, the world is full of peril. We’re heading into a year where a global conflict, already playing out in the shadows, could flare into the open.

Dec 29, 2024 | politico.com | Matthew Kaminski

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — To see how AI is changing warfare, visit Ukraine. There, an outmanned Ukrainian military is outsmarting the Russians with technology.

President-elect Donald Trump walks offstage after his remarks at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Feb. 24 in National Harbor, Maryland.
