New York Times (August 10)
“Mr. Trump has again made himself the focus of attention, when it should be Kim Jong-un, the ruthless North Korean leader, and his accelerating nuclear program.” His “threats have also diverted attention from a genuine accomplishment, the new Security Council sanctions.” This is a time for “prudent, disciplined leadership…. Rhetorically stomping his feet, as he did on Tuesday, is not just irresponsible; it is dangerous.”

“Britain continues to respond with impressive fortitude and sobriety to a string of terrorist attacks claimed by the Islamic State.” In contrast, President Trump appears “to be doing his best to ruin U.S. relations with its closest ally — if any calculation can be imputed to his reckless and irresponsible tweets.”

Former President Park Geun-hye continues to display an “irresponsible attitude.” Despite a ruling of the Constitutional Court upholding her impeachment, Park “indicated that she would not accept the court ruling.” But it is not her choice. The ruling “is final and unchallengeable…. If Park had any sense of responsibility as a head of state and had felt appreciation toward her supporters, she should have told them that it was time to accept the court ruling and asked them to stop holding violent protests.”

Today, “the challenge for ESG 2.0 is to learn to manage the modern risks that are linked to long-horizon stewardship investing.”
