By BENNY AVNI, Special to the Sun From the day Candidate Trump went down the escalator, he insisted that Mexicans are bad hombres. Even his tacked-on compliment — “and some, I assume are good people” — had a hint of meanness. The theme persists: Over the weekend, the presi…
By SETH LIPSKY, From the New York Post Too bad President Trump can’t run for prime minister of Britain. He arrived in London for his long-awaited state visit just as Britons showed themselves to be a lot Trumpier than the elites have been suggesting. Oh, sure, the Leftist louts in Londo… Trump’s Deal On Mideast May ‘Trump’ Politics By BENNY AVNI, Special to the Sun As Israel gears up to a surprise election, the American-led peace plan touted as the “Deal of the Century” seemed to suffer a major blow.

By STEPHEN MacLEAN, Special to the Sun Pity the Conservative members of Parliament. This month their party was decimated at local and European elections. Now Prime Minister May announces her intention to resign in early June. Tory MPs will soon be leaderless. The awesome responsibility… With May Leaving, The Hard Part Of Brexit Begins By STEPHEN MacLEAN, Special to the Sun Can Brexiteers take any comfort in what is to date their sole consolation prize? In lieu of reveling in two months of freedom from the European Union, champions of British independence have to settle, for now, with news of the Prime Minister’s pendin… Will Trump Summit With Nigel Farage? By STEPHEN MacLEAN, Special to the Sun How do you say “carpe diem” with a pint in one hand and a cigarette in the other? No one doubts that Nigel Farage and his Brexit party have seized the day. As Britons cast ballots for a European parliament they voted in the 2016 referendum to leave, Mr. Farage and his cohorts brilliantly capture the public’s mood: British independence delayed but not defeated.
By BENNY AVNI, Special to the Sun Google this week moved to restrict Huawei’s access to its Android operating system and apps. The big-tech tiff is also a major escalation in a war to determine which form of government will dominate our future. Here’s the big-picture question behi… Myths Crumble As U.S. Makes Progress on Persia By BENNY AVNI, Special to the Sun Various myths have long held America’s Mideast strategy. Among the most pernicious myths is the one that sharply divided Iran’s government from its terrorist proxies. Letting Tehran deny responsibility for its proxies’ nasty activities was the pr… Time for Trump To Craft a Policy On Russ Regime By BENNY AVNI, Special to the Sun Secretary of State Pompeo will meet his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, next week. They will have a lot to discuss. Endlessly obsessed with Russia’s interference in the last election, one half of Washington — the Democrats — all but ign… Where Are The Democrats On Foreign Policy? By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun Where’s the Democratic critique of President Trump’s foreign policy? You’d think that with more than 20 Democrats running for President, at least one of them would try to differentiate herself, or himself, from the rest of the field by focusing…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun For all the flak President Trump gets for insufficient deference to America’s allies, Americans should be aware of the parlous condition of Europe, which long was regarded as the co-equal half of the Western alliance to the United States and Canada…
By STEPHEN MacLEAN, Special to the Sun Brexit delayed is Brexit denied. Such logic fueled local elections in Britain, as voters exacted retribution for politicians’ refusal to discharge the people’s desire to exit the European Union and redeem UK independence. Hundreds of ballot pape…
By BENNY AVNI, Special to the Sun The battle for Venezuela is entering a crucial moment, and so are the risks for that nation, for America, and beyond. On Tuesday Juan Guaidó, widely recognized as Venezuelan president, launched what he called the “final phase” of a months-long struggle…
It Leads the Polls for European Parliament, Our Diarist Reports By STEPHEN MacLEAN, Special to the Sun The British Prime Minister is a wrecking crew of one. Theresa May scuttled Britain’s March 29 exit from the European Union. Her preferred withdrawal option places the UK in a worse position in relation to the EU. Not content to wreak havoc in foreig…
By BENNY AVNI, Special to the Sun Observing America’s politics from Tehran must feel like sitting court-side at the U.S. Open: Your head pivots side to side as you cheer your favorite player, hoping he’ll win the next set. And that’s dangerous. America’s hyper-partisan politics ha… Tory Rank, File Taking Brexit To the Polls Our Diarist Reports That the Game’s Afoot By STEPHEN MacLEAN, Special to the Sun I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,Straining upon the start.

An apt question this Primrose Day weekend — an occasion to commemorate Benjamin Disraeli’s death in 1881 and promote his beloved Conservative party. Lord Randolph Churchill, Winston’s father, was a princi… How Notre Dame Echoes Another Harrowing Fire By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun Next to St. Peter’s Basilica and the Palace of Versailles, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is probably the most eminent building in all Europe, and of course, is older than the first two.
