But first up, will Starmer's 'flatter Trump' strategy pay off once more over the state visit? Short and sharp from @iona-allan.bsky.social with excellent comment from @oliviaosullivan.bsky.social and @rentouljohn.bsky.social www.chathamhouse.org/publications...

Starmer’s ‘flatter Trump’ strategy may turn to damage limitation during state visit
The US president will enjoy the pageantry, but the prime minister will want to avoid moments that reveal differences on trade, Ukraine and Palestine recognition, writes Iona Allan.

Pleased to be included in this issue of @theworldtoday.org. My article considers the aspirations of #Ukraine's #Africa strategy and the challenges the Kyiv is facing in competing with #Russia for sympathisers and allies on that continent.

Can Carney avoid a clash with Trump at the G7 summit?
Hosting world leaders in Alberta will be the first big test for Canada’s new prime minister. But will he confront the US president or play peacemaker, asks Iona Allan.

"The next era of AI development could move from private-sector competition to develop the fastest models to a more geopolitical, public-sector race", writes @stokel.bsky.social www.chathamhouse.org/publications...

Will China’s DeepSeek liberate AI from US tech giants?
The low-cost chatbot could herald an era of affordable public-sector AI – but governments may need to weigh the potential political costs, writes Chris Stokel-Walker.

Poland's presidential election in May is a make-or-break test for Donald Tusk and his centrist agenda. Can his government end its cohabitation with the far right? My piece for @theworldtoday.bsky.social 👇 www.chathamhouse.org/publications...

The UK government seems to want to work more closely with China on climate change. This is A Good Thing - but it will require political courage and action to 'institutionalize' the cooperative relationship. My piece in @theworldtoday.bsky.social www.chathamhouse.org/publications...

Cooperating with China on climate action is a win for the UK – and the planet
Sharing British climate policy know-how could help the world’s largest emitter decarbonize faster. But the UK government must find the political courage to collaborate, writes Chris Aylett.
