Trump’s snubbed COP — but he’s on everyone’s lips
Whether fretting about the Iran war — or picturing life without him — the U.S. president is looming large in the minds of politicians and campaigners at the global climate summit.

THE INTELLIGENT BRIEF
The story leading this cycle — «European security and Ukraine talks top agenda at Dublin summit» (France 24) — runs in parallel with two distinct threads: «Trump’s snubbed COP — but he’s on everyone’s lips» on one hand, and «UK court convicts 2 Iranian men of spying on journalists» on the other. These are not disconnected stories — they are different manifestations of the same structural pressure on the international system. Reading them in isolation is missing the pattern. My read: a bilateral summit is a photo, a communiqué, and if you're lucky, an agreed text. What matters to me is not the language of the communiqué — it's what's missing from it. The issues leaders decide not to put in writing after a meeting reveal more about the real state of the relationship than those they include.
