-WaPo says “U.S. officials” have new North Korea policy. Looks like a trial balloon. And WSJ even got Jen Psaki on the record.
– WSJ also explains Biden’s careful media strategy.
And WSJ says Biden foreign policy takes backseat to domestic issues.
AP reports secret US deal with Taliban.
WaPo says Taliban has imposed checkpoints to control traffic over much of Afghanistan.
Really tough call: WaPo details administration divisions over vaccines: intellectual property rights vs public health; future biotech leadership vs current manufacturing; trade vs protection. Lots of second and third order issues and consequences.
