Ian Bremmer shares his insights on global politics this week on World In :60.
If the US won’t work to return a wrongly deported man to El Salvador despite a Supreme Court ruling, are we headed toward a constitutional crisis?
It certainly appears that way, and I think this is the constitutional crisis that the Trump administration would love to have. Because wrongfully deporting someone without evidence, which the Supreme Court says you shouldn’t do, but now is in another country. Very few Americans are sympathetic to the case of this person. And indeed, Trump won on the basis in part of being sick and tired of allowing illegal immigrants to spend enormous amounts of time in the United States without recourse.
So he’s breaking the law here. He’s flouting independent judiciary and their decision-making, but he’s doing it on an issue that most Americans have no sympathy on the other side. So the Democrats would have to be very wary of making this a hill they want to die on, and Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. It is pretty impressive playbook for undermining rule of law and checks and balances on an increasingly authoritarian leaning executive. That’s where we are.
Trump claims China-Vietnam talks are intended to “screw” the US. Does this run the risk of pushing Vietnam to China?
Certainly, most Vietnamese now are more well-disposed towards China than the US. First time we’ve seen that since the war. It’s not true across Southeast Asia. Philippines, about 80% still pro-US, not pro-China. But it is a problem, and Xi Jinping understands that. And that’s why he went in and was received directly by the president as opposed to the prime minister last time who met him at the airport. 45 big deals that they’re signing on trying to improve economic coordination. Clearly a bit of a surprise to Trump, just as the direct retaliation from the Chinese, even though the Americans warned them, “Negotiate, don’t retaliate.” But that’s exactly what China did, and Trump frankly should have expected that was coming. Now he looks a little bit weaker in the way he’s backing down and creating exemptions for a lot of people in this space.
Saudi Arabia plans to pay off Syria’s World Bank debt. Could this be a major turning point for Syria’s future and its ties with regional allies?
It certainly helps. We’ve also seen the Qataris already say they’re going to offer gas through Jordan into Syria. I think that this is all promising. The Saudis were never going to do that, provide any support as long as Assad was in place. Now they are. The Americans are pulling troops out, and Turkey is going to be the most important country on the ground. But economically, it’s going to be the Gulf States, and that gives this new Syrian regime a better chance to succeed. Something we all clearly are rooting for in terms of one of the places that we’d like to see a little more stability from. Anyway, that’s it for me, and I’ll talk to you all real soon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch/GHUH-XHOdVQ Will Russia agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine? | GZERO World with Ian Bremmer
President Trump has made it clear: He wants a ceasefire in Ukraine. On GZERO World, former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba joins Ian Bremmer to discuss Trump’s negotiation strategy, Russia’s goals, and Ukraine’s uncertain future.
President Trump has made it clear: He wants a ceasefire in Ukraine. The White House has been engaging with Russia diplomatically, while making it clear to Kyiv that ongoing US military support isn’t a guarantee. The problem? Moscow has so far shown no interest in meaningful compromise. Instead, the Kremlin is slow walking negotiations and increasing demands for concessions, all the while advancing on the battlefield and targeting Ukraine’s population centers with drone strikes. The delay tactics are testing the patience of the friendliest White House it’s faced in years. But will the Trump administration actually start piling the pressure on Russia? And even if Putin makes a deal, can Kyiv trust him to honor it? On GZERO World, Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba joins Ian Brmmer to discuss President Trump’s negotiation strategy, Russia’s goals, and Ukraine’s uncertain future.
“Did Putin come to Ukraine to take part of it or all of it?,” Kuleba explains, “If you believe Putin came after the whole of Ukraine because it is so important to him to get it under his control, then there is no ground to negotiate.”

What happens when a star runs out of nuclear fuel? For stars like our Sun, the center condenses into a white dwarf while the outer atmosphere is expelled into space to appear as a planetary nebula. The expelled outer atmosphere of planetary nebula NGC 1514 appears to be a jumble of bubbles — when seen in visible light. But the view from the James Webb Space Telescope in infrared, as featured here, confirms a different story: in this light the nebula shows a distinct hourglass shape, which is interpreted as a cylinder seen along a diagonal. If you look closely at the center of the nebula, you can also see a bright central star that is part of a binary system. More observations might better reveal how this nebula is evolving and how the central stars are working together to produce the interesting cylinder and bubbles observed. via NASA https://ift.tt/ZGOnef0Click here
https://www.youtube.com/watch/EXETOHvRMj4 Can the US win by undoing globalization? | Ian Bremmer’s Quick Take
The United States has become the principal driver of geopolitical uncertainty on the global stage. In this Quick Take, Ian Bremmer looks at how reversing globalization will impact the world and the US itself.
The big macro lens is that the United States, my country, has become the principal driver of geopolitical uncertainty on the global stage. The most powerful country in the world, the biggest economy in the world, the home of the global reserve currency. And yet, at the same time, by far the most dysfunctional and kleptocratic and unfree political system of the advanced industrial democracies, so the G7 plus, compared to Japan or Germany or France or the UK or Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea. That’s what we’re looking at right now. And of course, that’s a really challenging thing for pretty much everybody to navigate.
It is playing out the most dramatically in global trade with massive tariffs coming from the United States. And it’s unclear who is going to get hit the worst, but it is clear that everyone is going to take a hit. This isn’t a good environment for anybody. You want to talk about winners? There’s not really any winners when you’re undoing globalization. It’s painful for pretty much everyone inside the United States. It’s painful for multinational corporations, it’s painful for consumers, it’s painful for friends and adversaries of the United States all over the world. Whether it’s China, it’s Europe, Japan, Global South, you name it, everyone is taking a hit, everyone’s economy will do worse, global growth will do worse. We will all feel it in the pocketbook, in the portfolio. Uncertainty, a massive amount of uncertainty being driven and driven continuously by the most powerful country in the world is hard for everybody to navigate and creates more cost.
Now, the markets are clearly glad that there has been rollback from the United States, from Trump, in particular the over 10% tariffs on most countries coming off for some 90 days, the electronics and iPhone exception, at least for now, on China, et cetera. But it’s certainly unclear how long those exemptions are going to last and what happens after that. And even where we are right now, with 10% additional tariffs on everybody and significant essentially trade embargo on most goods between the United States and China, the two most powerful countries in the world, that already brings us squarely back to the 1930s in terms of the global tariff environment, and also at a time that things are moving much faster, that efficiencies are much greater, that global interconnectedness and supply chains so much more important.

What’s happening at the center of our galaxy? It’s hard to tell with optical telescopes since visible light is blocked by intervening interstellar dust. In other bands of light, though, such as radio, the galactic center can be imaged and shows itself to be quite an interesting and active place. The featured picture shows an image of our Milky Way’s center by the MeerKAT array of 64 radio dishes in South Africa. Spanning four times the angular size of the Moon (2 degrees), the image is impressively vast, deep, and detailed. Many known sources are shown in clear detail, including many with a prefix of Sgr, since the galactic center is in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. In our galaxy’s center lies Sgr A, found here in the image center, which houses the Milky Way’s central supermassive black hole. Other sources in the image are not as well understood, including the Arc, just to the left of Sgr A, and numerous filamentary threads. The inset image shows a small patch recently imaged in infrared light with the James Webb Space Telescope to investigate the effects of magnetic fields on star formation. via NASA https://ift.tt/zweEAntClick here
