French President Emmanuel Macron is being pulled in contrary political directions, swerving both left and right, as he seeks to work out the political trajectory most likely to secure him reelection next year, according to critics and analysts. The maneuvering, though, is increasing the frustrations of left-wing voters amid signs that a backlash is building. Libération, France's leading left-wing daily newspaper, warned this week that many on the left, who backed Macron in 2017, handing him a landslide election win over France's far-right leader Marine Le Pen, won't do so again next year. Libération accused Macron of being in "flagrant denial," saying the French president is "playing with fire" by assuming the left is going to mobilize and vote for him if he again faces Le Pen in a runoff.

Ice-laden trees snapped power lines. Wind turbines ground to a halt while some reliable natural gas, coal and nuclear plants failed to get energy to the grid.

I don’t want to talk about him anymore.” China’s leaders, however, believe that blaming the former administration for Sino-U.S. tensions will leverage anti-Trump animus for Biden’s “flexibility” on contentious issues. With Trump gone, Washington can forget “the China threat” and revert to the “normalcy” that Beijing found so advantageous during the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations. Last week, China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, again called for a return to the pre-Trump … [Read more...] about China plays the Trump card, but Biden is not buying it
