Reflecting on the historic moment that the Forum marks, Frederick Kempe, president and CEO of the Atlantic Council, said, “We’re in what we’re…

There’s a reason why WWE’s promotional videos often come with the tagline, “Don’t Try This at Home,” but for fitness influencer Jesse James West, the reality of professional wrestling became very clear as Rhea Ripley made her mark on the muscular presenter.

On April 2, his so-called Liberation Day, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on dozens of countries, including China, which suddenly faced average levies of nearly 75 percent. But while most governments struggled to respond, Chinese leader Xi Jinping was poised to retaliate. Two days later, Beijing not only announced comparable duties but also raised the stakes by introducing export controls on seven rare-earth elements that power everything from smartphones to fighter jets. Because China commands 90 percent…

None of the federal buildings in a governmentwide database tracking average occupancy rates meet a minimum benchmark that would spare them from consolidation plans for government real estate. But the General Services Administration, the landlord for many agencies, is taking a closer look at the data that it’s collected so far.
