When they don't love you back...

Since the Second World War, the transatlantic alliance has been shaped and sustained by public opinion on both sides of the Atlantic. The US and Europe have remained deeply interconnected by their economies as well as by NATO, but recent opinion polls - especially during the second Trump presidency - have shown a growing divergence in public perceptions. While Europeans have an increasingly negative view of the US, Americans remain generally favourable to Europe and the transatlantic alliance.

Japan's Prime Minister is Leading Change in Policy and Perception

All eyes have been on Japan's first female prime minister. Sanae Takaichi has defied norms in many ways. Unlike many Japanese politicians, she is not from a political dynasty. She clawed her way to the top through hard work, strong social skills, and a firm belief that her views were right for Japan. She was not seen as a front-runner in the usual "take-your-turn" order for leadership of the Liberal Democratic Party; there were male candidates ahead of her. But perhaps the biggest difference is her popularity. She has a huge following among younger people, who were thought to be largely disengaged from politics. She brought voters out in the snap election she called in February and won by a large margin.

Focus on Venezuela: The Visible Link Between Energy Security and Human Prosperity

Imagine a nation with oil reserves larger than Saudi Arabia's: enough energy wealth to power prosperity for generations. Now imagine that same nation plunged into darkness, with rolling blackouts, fuel shortages, and an economy in freefall. This is Venezuela's reality, and it reveals a crucial truth: Possessing energy resources and securing energy access are two very different things.
