From the evacuation in 1975 to the diplomatic maneuvers of 2025, the fate of the allies is once again calling into question the global leadership of the United States. What does the fall of Saigon tell us about the future of global unions?
Trump’s tariffs have brought down the arms market. Suppliers are urgently raising prices for raw materials and components, which ultimately makes everything more expensive — from shells to fighter jets.
What consequences can the new tariffs have? Will European companies move their factories to the United States? I will try to understand these issues.

The modern foreign policy of China, starting from the late 20th century, has been shaped by historical, economic, and cultural factors. One of the key moments was China’s opening to the world in the early 1980s under the leadership of reformer Deng Xiaoping.

The presidents discussed no fewer than fifteen topics.
