Foreign Policy (June 13)
The Tory party has “bravely put party before country” and their “internal fights” have virtually “wrecked the U.K.” Any achievements the conservative “government might claim—record numbers of people in work, a ‘balancing of the books’—have been completely overshadowed by Brexit, a farce produced as a direct result of internal Tory squabbling and dissension.”

Donald Trump’s “Asia tour has been at times a disaster, at times a farce.” To pick a “most shameful moment” would be challenging. “There was a time when the world looked to the U.S. president to speak clearly in defense of freedom, democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights. I refer to the entirety of modern U.S. history before January, when Trump assumed the high office he now dishonors.”

The Guardian (July 2)
“As the true extent of the Brexit farce becomes more apparent, it is now open warfare between the Brexiters, while the rest of the world…look on in sympathetic bewilderment.” Amid growing “evidence for concern about Brexit-induced potential loss of trading and investment opportunities,” there are growing hopes that the “transition” may be extended indefinitely.
