Yesterday, Trump made clear that he disdains the UN. I think Trump is wrong. I explain why in Autocrats vs. Democrats: China, Russia, America, and the New Global Disorder, out next month: www.harpercollins.com/products/aut...

Trump made clear today that he does not believe in multilateralism. I think he's wrong. American leadership in multilateral organizations, including the UN, makes us stronger, not weaker. I explain why in my new book, AUTOCRATS VS DEMOCRATS. www.amazon.com/Autocrats-vs...

In my new book, AUTOCRATS VS. DEMOCRATS, I write in detail about how Xi has invested in multilateral organizations of autocrats, like the one meeting in China now. At the same time, the US has built new clubs for democrats. This dangerous trajectory must be reversed. www.amazon.com/Autocrats-vs...
