Italian FM: Trump’s Russia outreach good for Rome
Italy will benefit from Donald Trump‘s aim to improve U.S. relations with Russia after the president-elect moves to the White House, Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni said Sunday.

The black swan president
On Tuesday, when Donald Trump defied the polls, the Clinton machine and much of his own party establishment to become president-elect of the United States, he also became the closest thing to a black swan event we’ve ever seen in American politics: Statistically unlikely, rationalized only in hindsight—and carrying an impact that could be...

The fear is that the new U.S. president-elect will choose warm ties with Moscow over the exasperation of supporting Ukraine, a country he described during the campaign as a “mess.” “Biggest loser in the world tonight — Ukraine,” tweeted Michael McFaul, the former U.S. ambassador...
Can Europe survive a Trump presidency?
With the benefit of hindsight, none of this will look surprising to future generations. An anemic economic recovery, anxieties about immigration, structural changes that made redundant the skill sets of many working-class Americans, and the sense that Washington was run by a self-serving, out-of-touch elite — together this added up to a volatile...
