Confronting Iran: The Trump Administration’s Strategy.
US Department of State, October 15, 2018, 6 pages.
“The emergence of al Qaeda, cybercriminals, and other dangerous entities affirmed the threat of nonstate actors. But equally daunting has been the resurgence of outlaw regimes—rogue states that defy international norms, fail to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms, and act against the security of the American people, U.S. allies and partners, and the rest of the world. Chief among these outlaw regimes are North Korea and Iran.” (From US Department of State)

Beijing’s Nuclear Option: Why a U.S.-Chinese War Could Spiral Out of Control.
Foreign Affairs, November/December 2018 Issue, 9 pages.
“A war between the two countries remains unlikely, but the prospect of a military confrontation—resulting, for example, from a Chinese campaign against Taiwan—no longer seems as implausible as it once did. And the odds of such a confrontation going nuclear are higher than most policymakers and analysts think. Members of China’s strategic com-munity tend to dismiss such concerns. Likewise, U.S. studies of a potential war with China often exclude nuclear weapons from the analysis entirely, treating them as basically irrelevant to the course of a conflict.” (From Foreign Affairs)

Enforcing U.S. Trade Laws: Section 301 and China.
Washington, D.C.: Congressional Research Service, September 25, 2018, 2 pages.
“Concerns over China’s policies on intellectual property (IP), forced technology transfer, and innovation policies, and their impact on the U.S. economy,
led the Trump Administration to launch a Section 301 investigation of those policies. Since then, the United States has implemented three rounds of tariff increases under Section 301 on a total of $250 billion worth of Chinese products and has threatened tariff increases on an additional $256 billion worth of Chinese goods. So far, China has increased tariffs on $110 billion worth of U.S. products. Many in Congress and the U.S. business community have raised
concerns over the economic impact of these measures” (From CRS Report)

Global Trade Imbalances.
Washington, D.C.: Congressional Research Service, September 28, 2018, 3 pages.
“In July 2018, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) released its latest report on global trade imbalances that identifies countries with excessive current account balances and exchange rates that are “misaligned.” The current account is a broad measure of a country’s global economic engagement and is comprised of trade in goods, services, and official flows. The report indicates that 40% to 50% of countries had imbalances that were “excessive,” and that imbalances of about 3.25% of world GDP-both surpluses and deficits -remained constant in 2017.” (CRS Report)

17. 2019 Index of U.S. Military Strength- Military Strength: Executive Summary.
Heritage Foundation, October 4, 2018, 11 Pages.
“The Index assesses the strength of each of the U.S. military services, the status of the threats we face, and the favorability of the environment in which the U.S. and its allies must be prepared to operate. Since the initial publication of the Index five years ago, the military has struggled in its capacity and readiness for operations—brought about by harmful budget caps, underinvestment in research and development, and decades of sustained engagement in the Middle East. Although the FY2018 and FY2019 defense budgets reflect positive growth for defense, military strength remains far below where it needs to be.” (From the Heritage Foundation)

Governance and the Future of the Arab World.
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, October 6, 2018, 16 pages.
“Arab regimes have established a set formula for managing state-citizen relations: government services in exchange for public consent. This prevalent social contract dictated that rulers would provide citizens with public sector jobs and free or subsidized goods and services (such as health, education, energy, and food) in exchange for loyalty and minimal political rights and civil liberties. Over the past seven years, changes to the government-citizen relationship in the Arab world have reshaped citizens’ perceptions of what they owe their government and what they can expect from it.” (From Carnegie Endowment for International Peace)
