    U.S. President Donald Trump has presented a vision of the Western Hemisphere that hearkens back to a 19th-century spheres-of-influence approach to international affairs: the regions of North, Central, and South America should be exclusively the United States’ economic, diplomatic, and military domain. This approach disrupts a postwar global order and historical alliances — we looked at historical precedents, and at what’s different today. Also: today’s stories, including a look at an organization led by Palestinians and Israelis seeking peace; what’s to come with Russia-Ukraine peace talks; and how Trump’s efforts to end state EV mandates is changing the rules of the road.
