Even though the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States continues to review Nippon Steel’s $14.1 billion acquisition of U.S. Steel, President Joe Biden is reportedly planning to block the deal even if CFIUS approves it.

Our national holiday of Veterans Day did not start with that name. In 1918, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, hostilities on the Western Front ceased and World War I came to an end. That day became internationally known as Armistice Day. But the name eventually changed in the United States, and there has been some controversy and confusion ever since.

The Biden administration has turned to Japan repeatedly to bolster our national security, especially vis-a-vis China. But when it comes to allowing a Japanese company to acquire U.S. Steel, the administration seems to be conjuring up national security excuses to oppose it. In response to Chinese aggression, the U.S. and Japan announced in April enhanced military cooperation between the two countries, including a joint command structure and a new missile-defense network.

Higher education drives some conservatives and even some leftists crazy, but conservatives should support universities’ historic role in advancing national security interests. Republican leadership’s ongoing investigations into national security risks involving institutions of higher education are both praiseworthy and, from a national security point of view, absolutely necessary.

By Jock FinlaysonWithout exports of oil, natural gas and other energy goods, Canada’s cumulative trade deficit with the rest of the world—which stood at $130 billion in the decade ending in 2023—would have ballooned to $1 trillion. Energy sits at the heart of Canada’s export economy, even though some federal policymakers and provincial governments appear to be discomfited by that fact.

By Steven BucciPresident Joe Biden, host of the 75th anniversary NATO Summit in Washington that ends Thursday, last week claimed to ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos that he “put NATO together.”Trying to find a charitable spin on this claim, let’s assume Biden means that he helped NATO stand stronger against Russian President Vladimir Putin in the crisis over Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Biden certainly didn’t put together NATO, founded in 1949, regardless of his recollection.

In another staggeringly poor choice for the nation, the Biden administration is putting concern for votes in the coming election before national security interests. Strangely, due to election calculations, President Joe Biden seems to prefer Hamas and China over Israel and Japan.

The Biden administration has been praising itself in a Department of State press release for successfully bringing home American citizens who had spent years in Iran “imprisoned as part of the Iranian regime’s cruel practice of wrongful detention.” Secretary of State Antony Blinken even touted the administration’s commitment to ensuring it has “brought home every wrongfully detained American.” This is nice rhetoric, but the principles are being applied very selectively, and the sad fact is...
