When potential outcomes are systemic and irreversible, preparation must precede certainty. This is the logic behind insurance, as well as every pandemic plan and arms-control treaty ever created, and it must be the principle that guides our approach to AI—beginning at the upcoming US-China summit. GENEVA—When Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump meet in Washington this month, AI will be near the top of the agenda. If they view the issue through the lens of technological rivalry and mutual suspicion, reaching any kind of understanding will be nearly impossible. But there is a way to reframe their…

Canada’s dependence on the US market has become a strategic liability, leaving it vulnerable to President Donald Trump’s bullying. Reducing that dependence will require building industries that can compete globally while removing the structural barriers that prevent innovative Canadian firms from scaling. CAMBRIDGE—US President Donald Trump first hit Canada with substantial tariffs in 2018, targeting aluminum and steel. He did so again after returning to office in 2025, this time targeting dozens of goods, though he later exempted those compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Last week, after trade talks broke down, he repeated his favorite trick, imposing 50% tariffs…

EDINBURGH—As the pillars of the post-1945 global order—support for human rights, multilateral cooperation, the rule of law, humanitarian aid, and environmental stewardship—crumble, and as country after country reduces or even terminates…

Venture funding to proptech startups is nowhere near its peak and still hasn’t returned to pre-pandemic levels, as higher interest rates make real estate a tougher place to invest, leading to fewer deals and raising the bar for startups seeking capital. But startup investors haven’t abandoned the sector, either, Crunchbase data shows. Instead, they’re being more selective about their bets and putting more money into companies using AI and other technology to make construction, property operations and real estate transactions faster and less expensive. That shift shows up in both the year’s largest funding rounds and biggest acquisitions — and,…

Politics Sep 1, 2026 Ana Palacio European Union leaders should have received several messages during the recent surge of migrants into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta. In particular, cohesion without trust is fragile; dependence without limits leads to vulnerability; and selective enforcement of international law risks eroding a pillar of Europe’s strategic identity. MADRID—At the end of July, tens of thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco into Ceuta, a Spanish exclave in North Africa.
