  • Reporting on the invasion of Venezuela
    NPR International Correspondent Eyder Peralta has covered conflicts and crises from East Africa to Latin America.

  • Poll finds Americans concerned as Trump accelerates global intervention

    President Trump raised eyebrows when he told the New York Times that there was only one thing that could stop him on the global stage: his own morality.


    So what do Americans think about the moral standing of the United States? Well, a new NPR-Ipsos poll finds Americans still want the U.S. to be a moral leader in the world — but far fewer think it actually is. 

    Senior Political Editor and Correspondent Domenico Montanaro shares more from the poll, and Senior International Affairs Correspondent Jackie Northam helps make sense of what it means globally.

  • Is the Trump foreign policy back to the future?

    "Make America great again."


    That phrase has been in our political ecosystem for 10 years now.



    But it's never been clear what time period in American history President Trump was referencing?

    Is it the 1980s? Or maybe the 1950s?

    What about further back, say the 1890s?

    As we enter the second year of Trump’s second term, is a 19th century presidency emerging? For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at [email protected].

  • An immigration crackdown gone wrong. What do we know?
    Today in Minneapolis, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer allegedly shot and killed a woman.

    ICE says she was shot in her car after attempting to run over immigration agents. 

    Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called the woman’s actions a domestic act of terrorism. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the narrative that the shooting was done in self-defense “garbage.”

  • What it's like inside a Darfur camp

    For almost three years, a civil war has decimated Sudan’s Darfur region.

    Bob Kitchen, who leads emergency humanitarian programs for the International Rescue Committee, just returned from the region. He described what he saw in a series of audio diaries that he shared with NPR.



    A warning — the audio you are about to hear contains graphic descriptions of violence and rape against women and children.

  • Can the global economy handle a world with fewer kids?
    Ashley and Nick Evancho say raising their young daughter, Sophia, is one of the most joyous things they've ever done. But the Evanchos also made a decision that's increasingly common for families in the U.S. and around the world: one is enough. The trend is leading to populations that are dramatically older, and beginning to shrink, in many of the world's biggest economies.


    Experts say a rapidly aging and gradually shrinking population in the world's wealthiest countries could force sweeping changes in people's lives, causing many to work longer before retirement, making it harder for business owners to find employees and destabilizing eldercare and health insurance programs.

    This story is part of NPR's Population Shift series.
