Letters to the Next U.S. President: Advice on Trade, Geopolitics, Energy and Mor

https://foreignpolicy.com/2024/09/09/president-advice-us-trade-economics-geopolitics-alliances-energy/
"Whichever candidate is victorious in November’s presidential election,
he or she will face long-term challenges stemming from a shifting world
order in which the United States is no longer the sole hegemon. With its
international role very much up for debate, and the ramifications of
that debate far-reaching, some of our contributors chose to address
Americans directly. These letter writers would likely disagree with some
of each other’s advice, but we hope the next president heeds it all.
There are no turkeys here—not until Thanksgiving, anyway.
