NPR Privacy Policy10 min - Can Trump get Putin to make a deal?
American Presidents have been trying to manage Russian President Vladimir Putin since the beginning of this century.
There was George W. Bush, who met with Putin 28 times.
Barack Obama and Putin sat down together 9 times.
Joe Biden met with Putin only once.
Past presidents had hoped to strike deals and push Russia toward a more democratic society.
Instead, Russia started wars and tried to expand its borders.
Soon, President Trump heads here to Alaska for his seventh meeting with Putin – and like his predecessors – he’s trying to get something out of Putin.
This time he’s hoping to finally end the war in Ukraine.

NPR Privacy Policy10 min - President Trump is upending global trade as we know it. What comes next?

He’s now President of the Council on Foreign Relations.
If the era of global free trade is over, the question is…what comes next?

NPR Privacy Policy8 min - Trump and Putin are set to meet. Do they want the same thing?Two minutes — that’s how long President Trump says it will take him to figure out whether Russian President Vladimir Putin is serious about finding a way to end his war with Ukraine.
Details are still scarce — but Putin and Trump are set to meet Friday in Alaska.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wasn’t invited.
What does Trump hope to achieve, and can he get it from Putin? Ambassador John Bolton, Trump's national security adviser in his first term, was with Trump the last time Trump met with Putin. Bolton weighs in.

NPR Privacy Policy10 min - Trump takes over D.C. police. Will other cities be next?President Trump said he’s taking over Washington and announced he’s deploying the National Guard to the city.
And he made another big promise: that his administration would take control of the D.C. police.
The president also mentioned other cities across the country with what he says are high levels of crime.
As President Trump pledges to use his executive authority to control law enforcement in the nation's capital, there are questions about what happens now and what this might mean for other cities across the country.

NPR Privacy Policy12 min - Deep-sea mining is unregulated. Some want to forge ahead anywayThe Trump administration announced this past week that it has entered talks with the Cook Islands to research and develop seabed mineral resources.
The Polynesian archipelago is one of only a handful of countries worldwide that has begun permitting this type of exploration, called deep-sea mining.
Deep-sea mining is not regulated. There's no blueprint for how to do it safely, or responsibly. Which is why, for the last decade, the UN's International Seabed Authority has worked to draw up regulations.
But President Trump — and one Canadian company — have posed a question: Why wait?

NPR Privacy Policy11 min - Investigating the Russia investigations. What's left to learn?The question of whether Russian interference in the 2016 election was a decisive reason Donald Trump won the presidency is one that has dogged Trump for the better part of a decade.
It's also been the subject of numerous investigations.
But even though that question has been asked and answered, the current Trump administration is launching another investigation in an effort to reach a different conclusion.
Last month, Trump's Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, declassified documents and she leveled an unprecedented accusation: The Obama administration knowingly pushed the idea of Russian interference as false narrative to sabotage Trump's campaign.
And this week, Attorney General Pam Bondi has authorized an investigation into the investigation of his 2016 campaign's relationship Russia.
What is there left to learn?

NPR Privacy Policy10 min - How some online networks target and radicalize kidsThe FBI is investigating at least 250 people who may be tied to online networks that target children.

NPR's domestic extremism correspondent Odette Yousef has spoken with a family that experienced this firsthand.
