The September 10, 2024, debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, held in Philadelphia, was intense and full of contrasts. Both candidates focused heavily on economic issues, with Trump attacking the Biden administration for what he called the "worst inflation" in U.S. history. He attempted to remind voters of the pre-pandemic economy under his leadership, while Harris countered that the inflation crisis was a global issue, and the Biden-Harris administration had worked to "clean up Trump's mess"

The candidates also clashed on other key topics such as immigration, abortion, and international relations. Trump criticized Harris for her role in the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the economy's reliance on foreign labor. Harris, in return, emphasized her administration's efforts to stabilize the economy and manage inflation, pushing back on Trump’s claims that his policies would be more beneficial.

The debate was marked by sharp policy differences, especially on taxation and trade. Trump promised to extend tax cuts for businesses, while Harris focused on middle-class tax relief. Trump also vowed to increase tariffs on China, which economists warn could harm U.S. consumers and growth.

Two and a half years after Russia invaded Ukraine, the United States’ strategy for ending the war remains the same: impose enough costs on Russia that its president, Vladimir Putin, will decide that he has no choice but to halt the conflict. In an effort to change his cost-benefit calculus, Washington has tried to find the sweet spot between supporting Ukraine and punishing Russia on the one hand, and reducing the risks of escalation on the other. As rational as this approach may appear, it rests on a faulty assumption: that Putin’s mind can be changed.

Putin Will Never Give Up in Ukraine The West can't change his calculus—it can only wait him out.
