Trump’s tweet-based badgering of the Saudis to increase production will not ease pressures resting on the global oil market. High time to do a reality check.

Far from being a unique phenomenon, Trump actually shares striking characteristics with a host of historical figures.

The Leavers’ hopes for a bilateral trade deal with the United States always seemed very iffy. After Trump’s UK visit, they are now wholly unrealistic.

The German government should not need any exhortations from the U.S. President to raise its level of defense spending.
