In @washingtonpost, I urged @POTUS, @SecRubio to make Ekpar’s release a condition of progress with China— not a footnote or a talking point, but a named request posed directly to Xi.

Xi talks about people to people exchange. Ekpar participated in @StateDept program & imprisoned.

Last year at this time Wall Street was convinced Trump wouldn't follow through on his tariff threats (we had a different view @atlanticcouncil). As we head into 2026, Wall Street is making the same mistakes all over again as I write in today's @WSJopinion:
