发帖数: 1 | 1 President Trump early Tuesday pressured Attorney General William Barr to
investigate the son of Democratic nominee Joe Biden and demanded that
information be released before Election Day.
"We have got to get the attorney general to act. He's got to act and he's
got to act fast," Trump said on "Fox & Friends," citing a New York Post
report about Hunter Biden's business dealings. Trump called on Barr to "
appoint somebody" to handle the matter.
"This is major corruption and this has to be known about before the election
," Trump said.
Trump's remarks represented an extraordinary effort by the president to push
a member of his Cabinet to investigate the family of his political opponent
, as he explicitly invoked the election as reason to do so. They came after
a group of House Republicans asked Barr to appoint a special prosecutor to
investigate the allegations about Hunter Biden made in the Post last week.
A spokesperson for the Justice Department did not immediately return a
request for comment on Tuesday.
Trump and his campaign have seized on the Post report, which alleged that
Hunter Biden helped broker a meeting between an executive at the Ukrainian
gas firm Burisma and his father when Joe Biden was vice president. The story
has been disputed by Joe Biden's campaign, which has said that his official
schedule from the time did not list any such meeting.
The FBI is also said to be investigating whether the article, which relied
on emails purportedly found on a laptop left at a computer repair shop in
Delaware, is tied to a Russian intelligence operation. Experts who spoke
with The Hill said that the laptop was more likely than not part of a
disinformation plot, but that it would take time for officials to
investigate it.
The president at a rally on Monday lamented that Barr had refrained from
investigating Joe Biden, but suggested he was doing so because the attorney
general is a "very nice man and a very fair man."
Prior to that rally, Trump had called on the FBI to investigate Hunter Biden
after being asked if the agency should be probing the matter.
"Certainly, the FBI should be investigating it because, on its face, he's
guilty as can be," Trump told reporters.
Trump's remarks represent an escalation of his rhetoric over the past week.
He described the Bidens as an "organized crime family" following the
publication of the Post report.
The president on Monday told campaign staffers that Joe Biden "should be in
jail," and later called a reporter a "criminal" for failing to more
thoroughly investigate allegations against the former vice president.
The Post obtained the information from Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal
attorney. Giuliani had contacts with a Ukrainian lawmaker who now has been
designated by the Treasury Department as a Russian agent.
Clinton Watts, a disinformation expert and research fellow at the Foreign
Policy Research Institute, said in an interview last week that there was a "
high" likelihood that the information is part of a disinformation operation.
"I think we won't know before the election and that's my worry," Watts said
of the reported FBI investigation into the source of the laptop. "I don't
know that you could ever know where this came from, potentially."
Despite the burgeoning questions around the validity of the story and its
basis, Trump has seized on it as he seeks a line of attack against Joe Biden
two weeks before Election Day as polls show him trailing the Democratic
nominee nationally and in important battleground states.
Trump has long pushed for investigations of his political opponents. Indeed,
he was impeached by the House of Representatives last year after asking
Ukraine's new president to investigate the Bidens and a baseless claim that
the elder Biden pressured for the removal of a Ukrainian prosecutor to his
son's benefit.
Recently, Trump has expressed frustration with Barr for not bringing charges
against Obama-era officials for their actions in the Russia investigation.
Trump has claimed that former President Obama and Joe Biden engaged in
criminal wrongdoing in connection with the FBI's investigation of his 2016
campaign, despite Barr saying earlier this year U.S. Attorney John Durham's
probe would not result in investigations of Obama or Joe Biden. | m****o

defeat-for-trump-would-mean-some-other-leaders-also-lose-out
Though many governments would likely celebrate the end of the most
unconventional and at times chaotic U.S. presidency of modern times, others
will have reason to miss it. For the leaders of Turkey, North Korea and
Israel, the ledger has been almost entirely positive. Trump’s ejection
would confront them with immediate challenges.
The scorecard for countries like China is more nuanced. Even so, what the
mostly authoritarian winners from Trump’s four years in office have in
common is a fear his departure would spell the return of a more conventional
U.S. foreign policy.
That could see the U.S. mending alliances and promoting the universality of
values such as democracy and human rights, or the fight against climate
change. “This president embraces all the thugs in the world,” Trump’s
opponent Joe Biden said at a recent town hall event, as he sought to
highlight the political divide.
Kim Jong Un
No relationship with the U.S. changed more under Trump than North Korea’s.
What began with mutual threats and insults morphed into a sometimes bizarre
love-in as Kim and Trump met three times and exchanged more than two dozen
letters, showcasing their “mysteriously wonderful” chemistry.
Still, the radically different U.S. approach has also failed to secure North
Korea‘s denuclearization. Kim unveiled a huge new intercontinental
ballistic missile on Oct. 10 that appears capable of delivering multiple
nuclear warheads.
Biden has said he won’t meet without preconditions, making any rapid
lifting of the sanctions that have tipped North Korea’s economy into its
worst recession for two decades less likely.
Mohammed bin Salman
Trump set the tone for his approach to international relations in Saudi
Arabia, choosing Riyadh for his first foreign visit in 2017. He was greeted
by a huge image of his own face projected onto the facade of the palatial
hotel where his delegation stayed.
The Saudi Crown Prince made important gains, above all Trump’s withdrawal
from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, his country’s mortal rival. Trump
also offered personal support and vetoed Congressional sanctions when MBS,
as he’s known, was besieged by allegations he’d ordered the 2018 murder of
prominent regime critic Jamal Khashoggi.
There have been disappointments for Saudi, in particular Trump’s failure to
strike back militarily after a 2019 attack on oil facilities in eastern
Saudi Arabia that the U.S. attributed to Iran. Saudi leaders say they’re
confident they could navigate a transition to Biden. Still, with Trump gone
a more traditional U.S. focus on human rights is likely to return and a door
could open to reviving the Iran accord.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan
If anyone relies more on Trump than MBS for political protection, it’s
Turkey’s president. Trump has stood virtually alone between Turkey and the
imposition of Congressional sanctions over Erdogan’s decision to buy Russia
’s S-400 air defense missile system, despite being a North Atlantic Treaty
Organization ally.
Their personal bond enabled Erdogan to persuade Trump to withdraw U.S.
troops from Kurdish areas of Northern Syria so Turkey could send its own
forces to take control of the zone. Trump made that decision without
consulting the Pentagon or U.S. allies in the fight against Islamic State in
Syria, including the U.K., France and Kurdish fighters that Turkey regards
as terrorists.
With sanctions ready for enforcement and Biden previously calling on the U.S
. to support Turkish opposition parties, Erdogan may have the most to lose
from Trump’s departure.
Xi Jinping
Trump has been more aggressive toward China than any U.S. president in
recent memory, slapping tariffs on Chinese goods and moving to restrict its
access to key technologies. Yet Chinese officials have said on balance the
leadership would prefer Trump to stay.
Trump shook the system of post-World War II alliances that China sees as a
constraint on its geopolitical ambitions, a considerable benefit. He also
undermined America’s international stature by exiting agreements in pursuit
of “America First” policies, creating openings for the Chinese president
to fill the resulting void of leadership on everything from trade to climate
change.
Beijing’s concern about Biden is that he would try to create a more
coordinated international front in dealing with China, while maintaining the
pressure on trade and technology. Even so, China might benefit from a less
emotive relationship with Washington if Trump loses, according to Zhu Feng,
professor of international relations at Nanjing University. “Do people
really want to see China and the U.S enter a cold war?”
Vladimir Putin
Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 election produced a formal U.S.
investigation and 448-page report. But in some ways, Putin hit the jackpot.
In office, Trump has questioned the value of NATO and even the status of
countries such as Germany as allies, weakening a transatlantic alliance that
Russian and Soviet leaders back to Joseph Stalin have sought to break.
There’s every reason to think the trend would continue during a second
Trump administration. Yet Russia’s president secured few of the more
concrete gains he wanted, from lifted sanctions to progress on arms control.
Russian officials see few prospects for a thaw, and less so under a Biden
administration.
Rather than lament the anti-Russia mood, the Kremlin could try to change it,
according to Fiona Hill, the National Security Council’s senior director
for European and Russian affairs until 2019. “They could rein in the guys
who are going around poisoning people right, left and center,” said Hill,
now at the Brookings Institute. “When they’re having meetings with us,
they could not poke us in the eye. They could just stop doing all that.”
Jair Bolsonaro
For Brazil’s president, Trump is a political soul mate. As U.S. opinion
polls have turned for Biden, Bolsonaro has grown increasingly concerned for
the future of his ties with the White House, according to a senior cabinet
member.
Since taking office in 2019, Bolsonaro has upended Brazil’s decades-old
tradition of an equidistant foreign policy in favor of automatic alignment
with the U.S. and its allies. In return, Trump lifted a ban on fresh-beef
imports, supported Brazil’s bid to join the Organisation for Economic
Cooperation and Development, and signed deals for defense and space-
exploration cooperation.
Foreign Minister Ernesto Araujo has said Brazil would have no problem with a
Biden administration, but Bolsonaro’s environmental policies would face
strong opposition. Biden has suggested Brazil could face economic
consequences if it does not stop Amazon deforestation.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Trump repeatedly broke with U.S. precedent to boost the Israeli leader’s
nationalist agenda, recognizing Israeli sovereignty in the disputed Golan
Heights and moving the American embassy to Jerusalem. Plans to annex parts
of the Palestinian West Bank have been shelved, but could be revived in a
second Trump term.
The real payoff came in September, when Trump brokered normalization deals
between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, but there’s been a
cost; bipartisan support for Israel in Congress has eroded. Many Israelis
fear their country would face greater scrutiny under a Biden administration,
while the security establishment worries about a U.S. return to the Iran
nuclear deal.
Andrzej Duda and Viktor Orban
Outsiders among more liberal European heads of state, the leaders of Poland
and Hungary have found solace in Trump. In 2017 he chose Warsaw for a major
speech in which he redefined the West in terms of conservative, Christian
values -- validating Duda’s right-wing agenda, which Hungary’s Orban
shares.
The Hungarian prime minister has openly endorsed Trump ahead of the election
, saying he does not want to see a return of the “moral imperialism” a
Democratic administration would bring to the White House.
The two men share Trump’s disdain for political correctness in ways that
could cause friction with Biden. President Duda has cast the LGBTQ+
community as “enemies” of Polish families. In September, Biden weighed in
on Twitter against Polish regions that had declared themselves “free from
LGBT ideology.”
In his comment on Trump’s fondness for “thugs,” Biden singled out Hungary
and Poland, together with post-Soviet Belarus as he warned against risks to
NATO from “the rise of totalitarian regimes around the world.”
