By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun Anyone wondering about the wisdom of Britain’s exit from the European Union might find an answer by checking out the Covid-19 vaccination statistics available at OurWorldinData.org. The site reports that as of the beginning of March, the United…
By BENNY AVNI, Second Edition “Bon jour,” was how an eager, cheerful reporter greeted Linda Thomas Greenfield shortly after the new American ambassador presented her credentials to the United Nations Secretary General. It was an apt welcome to a building at the heart of midtown…
Humiliating Prince Could Bring Unintended Consequences By KAREN ELLIOTT HOUSE, Special to the Sun President Biden is seeking to burnish his human rights credentials — and once again distinguish himself from Donald Trump — by putting a bullseye on Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Playing politics with an ally in such a dangerous part of the…
By STEPHEN MacLEAN, Special to the Sun Not since the days of Benjamin Disraeli has a prime minister’s wife been cause for such conversation as has Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s fiancée. “Is Carrie Symonds really a Downing Street manipulator — or a shrewd supportive partner?” asks the…

Too bad, at least for friends of Free China. Hours earlier America’s ambassador to the…
