The New Year is already well underway with a turnover to the Democrats, a new Speaker of the House, a goodbye to Saddam Hussein, a goodbye to President Ford, a goodbye to the country’s top intelligence chief, and another turnover is on the way in the military’s war leadership. In a recent On Point broadcast, Carnegie's John Judis joins Karen Tumulty of Time Magazine, and On Point's Jack Beatty, to discuss the recent events during the first week of the New Year and what challenges are to come.

    What Could a Reciprocal Defense Procurement Agreement Do for U.S.-India Ties?

    India and the United States are close to concluding a Reciprocal Defense Procurement Agreement (RDPA) that will allow firms from the two countries to sell to each other’s defense establishments more easily. While this may not remedy the specific grievances both sides may have regarding larger bilateral issues, an RDPA could restore some momentum, following the trade deal announcement.
