State of the Union: Reaction
Published on Jan 28, 2008
Source: NPR's All Things Considered
In his last State of the Union address, President Bush lauded the success of the “surge” strategy in reducing the violence in Iraq. Carnegie President Jessica T. Mathews joined commentators on a special edition of NPR's All Things Considered to provide analysis immediately following the President's speech, arguing that Bush’s remarks underlined the fragility of the situation and just how little progress has been made in Iraq.

- How Will Trump and Putin’s Diesel Deal Impact Russia and Global Markets?Commentary
Without a ceasefire with Ukraine on attacking each other’s energy infrastructure—to which the Kremlin is unlikely to agree—the diesel agreement between Putin and Trump is largely for show, rather than representing a genuine increase in the volumes of Russian diesel on the global market.
