Trump's Foreign Policy, Explained
This is an edited transcript of an episode of 'The Ezra Klein Show.' You can listen to the conversation by following or subscribing to the show on the NYT Audio App, Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. One thing that's been on my mind is that we've not been covering Israel and Gaza or Ukraine and Russia nearly as much as we did in 2023 and 2024, frankly, as much as I think we should be. There have been two reasons for that. One has been that President Trump's second administration has felt, in many ways, like a domestic emergency, and it has pulled much more of our focus here. The other is that often, when we're covering these conflicts, what we're really covering — implicitly or explicitly — is the American position on them: How are we going to use our might, our money, our weaponry, our leverage to bring them to some kind of close or settlement? And early in Trump's second administration, he basically filled me with despair. He seemed to have little interest in Gaza, except for potentially building hotels there. Beyond that, he seemed perfectly happy to let Israel annex whatever it wanted. On Ukraine, he was at odds with Volodymyr Zelensky, and his main interest seemed to be his relationship with Vladimir Putin. But things have been changing a bit. Other parts of his 'America First' foreign policy have been coming into more focus. So what is Trump's foreign policy? What, at this point, can we say about it? How has it been evolving over the course of his still young second term? To help me think that through, I wanted to bring Emma Ashford back on the show. She is a senior fellow at the Stimson Center. She's the author of the forthcoming book 'First Among Equals,' and she's a foreign-policy analyst who is more of a realist. She's in fundamental ways more sympathetic to some of the motivating impulses of Trump's foreign policy, even if she doesn't always agree with how that's carried out. So I thought she'd be a good person to help me steel-man what the administration is doing and think through whether that's working or has a real chance of working. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Trump pardons 2 divers who freed 19 sharks caught in fisherman's line off Florida but were charged with theft
Miami — Two South Florida shark divers convicted of theft for freeing 19 sharks and a giant grouper from a fisherman's longline several miles from shore have been pardoned by President Trump. Pardons for Tanner Mansell and John Moore Jr. were signed Wednesday. They had been convicted in 2022 of theft of property within special maritime jurisdiction. The two men avoided prison time but were ordered to pay $3,343.72 in restitution, and the felony convictions prevented them from voting in Florida, owning firearms and traveling freely outside the U.S. "We never stopped fighting, and justice has finally prevailed," Moore's attorney, Marc Seitles, said in a statement. "We are thrilled the White House considered our arguments and determined this was an unjust prosecution. We could not be happier for John and Tanner." Moore, who was captain of a shark-diving charter boat, and Mansell, a crew member, spotted the longline about 3 miles off the Jupiter Inlet in August 2020, according to court records. Believing it was an illegal fishing line, the men freed the sharks and grouper, reported it to state wildlife officials and brought the line back to shore. Federal prosecutors later charged the men with theft. Officials said the line actually belonged to a fisherman licensed by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration to catch sharks for research. Mansell and Moore were convicted by a jury, and their appeals were later denied. The full and unconditional pardons signed by Mr. Trump erase those convictions. "This case never should have been filed," Mansell's attorney, Ian Goldstein, said in a statement. "These gentlemen made an honest mistake and were trying to save sharks from what they believed to be an illegal longline fishing setup. I can't think of two individuals more deserving of a Presidential Pardon."

Nutritional Counseling May Be Free for Your Obesity Patients
As part of treating the overall well-being of your patients, it may be beneficial to recommend nutritional counseling. More insurance carriers are providing this service as a benefit. When patients have conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or obesity, suggesting nutritional counseling could help your patients become more informed about making healthier choices. More health insurance plans cover nutritional counseling, although some may only provide coverage for specific conditions. 'Integrating nutritional counseling into routine clinical practice is essential and necessary to achieving optimal health outcomes,' said Scott Isaacs, MD, adjunct assistant professor of medicine, Emory University, and president of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology, who is based in Atlanta. 'By ensuring that nutritional counseling is accessible, personalized, and supported by insurance, we empower our patients to prevent disease, effectively manage chronic conditions, and improve both quality of live and longevity.' What Exactly Is Nutritional Counseling? Nutritional counseling is a collaborative, patient-centered process led by registered dietitians or nutritionists, and it involves a comprehensive assessment of a patient's dietary habits (dietary history), medical history, cultural/ethnic preferences, and health goals, followed by personalized education and support, said Isaacs. Scott Isaacs, MD 'Think of nutritional counseling as a way to translate medical advice into a meal plan that is realistic and achievable for an individual's life situation. Nutritional knowledge with practical tips helps patients make gradual, sustainable dietary changes,' he said. 'This isn't about quick fixes, it's about building lifelong skills, making permanent lifestyle changes for better health.' Most Insurance Plans Will Cover It According to Isaacs, most health insurance plans, including those under the Affordable Care Act, cover nutritional counseling for preventive care and for patients with conditions like diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and heart disease. 'One of the most underused benefits is insurance-covered nutritional counseling,' he said. 'I encourage clinicians to proactively inform patients that these services are likely included in their health plan.' Although most insurance plans grant patients the self-refer option to a registered dietitian, some require a physician's referral, especially for specific diagnoses such as diabetes, obesity, or hypertension, said Isaacs. If a referral is needed, physicians should reassure patients that this is a routine process. How Does This Affect Treatment Plans? Nutrition counselling services are integral to holistic comprehensive care. Nutritional counseling can include: Comprehensive weight management programs Bariatric pre- and post-surgery Diabetes management Lowering cholesterol Irritable bowel syndrome Food allergies (including gluten) Personalized meal planning Medical nutrition therapy for chronic illnesses, including cancer Mindful eating techniques to address emotional and behavioral eating patterns Nutrition guidance during pregnancy and for sports performance Furthermore, medical specialists say that nutritional counseling can particularly be a win for those with specific health conditions. 'My perspective is that medical nutrition therapy is vital to overall patient care plans, especially in the setting such as celiac disease or short bowel syndrome,' said Lindsey Russell, MD, a gastroenterologist with the Center for Human Nutrition at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland. 'At Cleveland Clinic, we practice a multidisciplinary approach to treating chronic diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, which includes registered dietitians as part of the treatment plan.' Why Patients Benefit From Nutritional Counseling? Isaacs at Emory University said nutritional counseling is a proven, evidence-based approach for managing and preventing chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions. 'Nutritional counseling is not just about diet, it's about giving patients practical, sustainable strategies to improve their health,' he said. Lindsey Russell, MD Among the benefits of personalized dietary guidance, Isaacs said, is helping patients with weight management, blood glucose control, lipid management, reduce cardiovascular risk, and support long-term health and vitality. Why Do Patients Trust Your Guidance? Patients appreciate nutrition advice they receive from their physicians, and studies show that when doctors introduce such conversations, patients are more likely to adopt meaningful lifestyle tweaks. 'By recommending nutritional counseling, we're not just treating disease, we're helping patients improve their health and quality of life,' Isaacs told Medscape Medical News . Encouraging Patients to Try Nutrition Counseling Once a doctor encourages a patient to use their insurance coverage to see a registered dietician, follow-through should be part of the plan. 'I encourage my patients to be open about their experiences — what they have tried, what has worked, what hasn't, and most importantly, their motivation for change,' said Christopher Scuderi, DO, a family physician who practices at Millennium Physician Group in Jacksonville, Florida, 'Having a clear 'why' behind their goals makes a significant difference in maintaining long-term commitment.' In his experience as a family physician, Scuderi noted that patients struggling with weight loss often consult with him after trying multiple approaches on their own. 'They frequently bring a wealth of questions, many stemming from misinformation found on social media. I have found that consulting a nutritionist can be especially helpful in addressing these concerns, providing sound guidance, and ensuring close follow-up,' he said. Christopher Scuderi, DO In addition, during the last 2 years, Scuderi said he's noticed an uptick in patient interest in glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) medications. Due to this, it has been easier to approach the topic of nutrition counseling. 'I have found it increasingly easier to discuss weight management with patients. Many are particularly interested in GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy and Zepbound,' he said. 'However, insurance coverage for these medications can be a significant barrier for many individuals.' In conclusion, Isaacs at Emory University said 'when nutrition is a routine part of medical care, it empowers patients to take charge of their health through the foods they eat every day.' To facilitate the incorporation of nutritional counseling for a patient's care plan he recommends the following steps:
