A Letter to America’s Discarded Public Servants
You all deserved better.

You all deserved better.

Foreign policy should work better for America’s middle class.

If the next 150 days turn out to be Trump’s final days in office, he could still wreak a lot of havoc on American foreign policy.

The global order is crumbling, domestic renewal is urgent, and America must reinvent its role in the world.

Foreigners aren’t laughing at us. They pity and discount us.

We need every ounce of talent and energy to not only rebuild but reinvent our society.

The post-pandemic world will pose a massive test for U.S. statecraft, the biggest since the end of the Cold War.

But it’s also more reparable.

Will the strategic bet that America and India have made on each other deliver on its full potential?

Trump’s attacks on public servants will do lasting damage to American diplomacy.
