The Diplomatic Insight Weekly
The world changes within seconds; And it's been a week!
Hello Reader
This year's first month is just about to end. And many of us are still procrastinating on our new year's goals.
But national leaders and diplomats rarely get that luxury.
Just in January, we've seen high-profile visits between Canada-Europe and China, US intervention (in Venezuela, and threats to Iran), and trade deals that took years to negotiate.
As the US becomes more relentless in pursuit of its goals, the global south, Europe, and China are getting their diplomacy into turbo mode. In hopes to offset some of the pressure coming from the unpredictable superpower.
Here’s your weekly roundup of the week’s most important stories, news, and articles from The Diplomatic Insight.
