The World Came to New York. It Left Less Safe

From the UN floor: a week of summits with little to show, a White House picking which reporters get through the door, and a stark warning about Putin's next move in Europe

This year’s UN General Assembly packed New York with presidents, prime ministers, diplomats, lobbyists and press. But walking the grounds, I felt something I haven’t felt in years: real unease. In this exclusive video for World Briefing Plus members, I unpack why the week delivered so little, what the White House’s selective access to media outlets means for all of us, and why the Kremlin’s next escalation may already be underway right on Europe’s doorstep.
