The edited recordings appear to be of Biden and Poroshenko speaking to each other, and were leaked by Andrii Derkach—a Ukrainian associate of President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Last year, it was revealed that Giuliani was heading the president’s efforts to pressure the Ukrainian government into investigating Biden, ultimately leading to Trump’s impeachment. In the conversations, Biden reportedly demands that Poroshenko fire former general prosecutor Viktor Shokin or miss out on $1 billion in aid....

And yet there are still other relationships that desperately require a total revaluation or recalibration. U.S.-Saudi relations is the poster child of this group—even more so given the incompetence, petulance, and misjudgment Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman has shown ever since he captivated Western commentators with his wide smile and youthful, “can-do” attitude.

Europeans have no obligation to consult with Washington on their economic agreements, and American business is not exactly leaving China over humanitarian concerns. Still, there is palpable alarm in the White House that the allies most relieved by Biden’s election victory already seem willing to undermine his promise of a more values-based alliance policy. And yet, the idea of an “alliance of values” with America was never going to have much appeal for contemporary Europe, not least because it overstates the role played by democratic ideals in European foreign policy....

Press secretary Jen Psaki said the virtual meeting was scheduled for Monday afternoon “in order to have a discussion about the path forward, which includes the recognition that this package is going to be smaller than originally proposed.” “What he wants to hear from them is what their priorities are, what their bottom lines are so he can play a constructive role in moving things forward,” she said. Biden will also likely meet with moderate Democrats later this week, the White House said, as negotiations continue on the sprawling spending package after Congress came to a deadlock last week....

The DCEU’s creators changed their vision as time passed, even if it sometimes meant retconning information that has already appeared in the previous movies, and were a part of the canon.
