WASHINGTON, Apr 7—Rose Gottemoeller, former director of the Carnegie Moscow Center and a senior associate in the Carnegie Russia and Eurasia Program in Washington, has been confirmed Assistant Secretary of State for Verification and Compliance. Gottemoeller has also been designated as the lead negotiator for a follow-on to the START Treaty, set to expire in December.
Welcoming the announcement, the president of the Endowment, Jessica T. Mathews, said:
“We are delighted for Rose. It is bittersweet to lose such a valued colleague, and someone who has been such a leader at Carnegie, but there is simply no one better qualified to play the critically important role to which she has been named. I know she will continue to build her long track record of success.”
Gottemoeller is a leading international expert on nuclear security, strategic stability, nonproliferation, arms control, Russian-American relations, and nuclear issues in post-Soviet territories. As director of the Carnegie Moscow Center from 2006-2008, she was simultaneously co-chair of the Center’s Nonproliferation Program, initiated and led the Forum on Energy Security, and ran a series of seminars and roundtables on the U.S.-Russian security relationship with the participation of key Russian and international experts, political and public figures.
From October 2000 to December 2005, Gottemoeller served as senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, where she held a joint appointment with the Russia and Eurasia Program and the Nonproliferation Program.
Prior to her work at the Carnegie Endowment, Gottemoeller served in the U.S. Department of Energy from 1997 to 2000, which included positions as deputy undersecretary for defense and nuclear nonproliferation, and assistant secretary for nonproliferation and national security, with responsibility for nonproliferation cooperation with Russia and the Newly Independent States.

Trump 2.0 has unsettled India’s external environment—but has not overturned its foreign policy strategy, which continues to rely on diversification, hedging, and calibrated partnerships across a fractured order.

Lukashenko is willing to make big sacrifices for an invitation to Mar-a-Lago or the White House. He also knows that the clock is ticking: he must squeeze as much out of the Trump administration as he can before congressional elections in November leave Trump hamstrung or distracted.

The world has entered an era of upheaval—a period of heightened geopolitical rivalry, deepening political polarization, quickening technological change, glaring economic inequality, accelerating environmental crises, and eroding respect for international law. This moment of disruption and fluidity is also one of opportunity, however. It provides openings for middle powers, both established and emerging, to exercise unaccustomed agency and influence the future of global order.
Carnegie scholars are analyzing middle power responses to this moment of upheaval and assessing whether—and under what conditions—these states can contribute to practical problem solving. They are asking critical, concrete questions: What countries, precisely, are we talking about when we refer to middle powers? In what issue areas do their priorities converge and diverge, including across North-South divides? In what domains can middle powers pack a punch, rather than produce a whimper? Are they willing to shoulder actual burdens and responsibility? Finally, how can middle powers assert themselves globally, without running afoul of or threatening their relations with the United States or China?
Restoring competence and trust to the anemic, neglected disaster recovery agency is a matter of national security.

Although the IAA often differs from the IRA, European policymakers can still take note of the U.S. act’s shortcomings.
