Krista Mahr: My name is Krista Mahr. I'm the senior international editor at Times Opinion.
One of the things my colleagues and I have been watching closely in the first four months of Trump's second term is how world leaders are reacting to this new administration. I wanted to talk about this so-called Trump effect with Lydia Polgreen and Nick Kristof, columnists who have reported extensively on America's relationship with the rest of the world.
Lydia, Nick, welcome.
Lydia Polgreen: Hi, Nick. Hi, Krista.
Nicholas Kristof: Good to be with you.
Mahr: So, from my perspective, it looks like there are a few different types of leadership that have emerged in response to Trump 2.0. There are the emboldened leaders like Vladimir Putin who are using Trump's foreign policy to advance their own agendas.

President Trump, do what's right for NYC and endorse Mayor Eric Adams for re-election
President Trump, if you decide to get involved in this year's mayoral race, do what's right for the city we all love: Back Eric Adams. With his commitment to public safety and civic pride, Adams has shown he deserves a second term in Gracie Mansion. He has stood up to the left-wing legislators of Albany and the City Council, the radicals who want to legalize theft, hold no one on bail and empty all the jails. Advertisement 3 President Donald Trump speaks in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, DC, August 6, 2025. REUTERS For the first half of this year, New York enjoyed the lowest number of shootings since the city started keeping track. That didn't happen by accident. Advertisement Socialist Zohran Mamdani would reverse all that progress. The 'defund the police' activist would hobble the NYPD, drive away businesses and make the streets unsafe. We agree Mamdani must be stopped. But don't believe that Andrew Cuomo, who already failed to beat Zohran once, is the answer. He's everything at once Advertisement Reports are that Andrew Cuomo's campaign is heavily lobbying you to help him in the New York City mayoral race. Don't listen to them, Mr. President: You know as well as we do that Cuomo cannot be trusted — except to betray anyone and everyone as fits his convenience. For starters, consider how he treated you during your first term, casting doubt on the 'Trump vaccine.' Then, once Democrats decided it was their vaccine, Cuomo was a leader of the 'you must get jabbed or else you'll be fired' crew. Advertisement 3 Democratic nominee for mayor Zohran Mamdani addresses the media outside the Federal Jacob Javits Building in New York, NY, on August 7, 2025. / MEGA Cuomo was for fracking until he was against fracking. He was for charter schools until he was against charter schools. He signed all of the 'no bail' laws and other 'reforms' that caused crime to skyrocket, but now claims he would 'fix' them. And he still refuses to admit those laws were a mistake. Heck, he won't admit to any mistake, ever. 3 Mayor Eric Adams speaks to supporters before the ribbon-cutting of his campaign's Brooklyn office. Stefano Giovannini How wormy is he? Advertisement On Thursday (after planting stories to the contrary), Cuomo flatly denied talking to you recently. He's also blatantly contradicting himself on how hard he'll 'fight Trump': He recently told business leaders that he's not 'personally' looking for conflict with the president. Hah! A month ago, in advance of the Democratic primary, he was vowing he'd 'spend eight years in Washington' fighting against your agenda. Advertisement No: If you care about the city's future, the man to support is Eric Adams. Adams was one of the few Democrats who stood up to Joe Biden, telling the truth about the massive border crisis. And for that, the previous administration punished him and New York City.

Check out more newsletters Found his footing Advertisement There have been missteps, but Adams has lately found his footing — particularly by finding a great police commissioner in Jessica Tisch. Another positive sign: The Police Academy just graduated its largest class in years. Qualified young folks want to join New York's Finest, confident that they have a commish and mayor who'll have their backs. An Adams re-election would mean that excellent work will continue. Advertisement A Commissioner Tisch won't be there under a Cuomo or Mamdani. We're sure Cuomo's pollsters painted a picture about the former governor's chances, but they were wrong in the primary and they are wrong now. All Cuomo is doing is selfishly splitting the vote, trying to hold on to one last shred of relevancy. Adams is supported in his re-election bid by all of the police unions and all the major black churches. You know New York, Mr. President, and understand that's a remarkable coalition — a perfect start on building a majority in November.

U.S. increases bounty to $50M for Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro
The Trump administration on Thursday increased the bounty to $50 million for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. File Photo by Ronald Pena R./EPA-EFE Aug. 7 (UPI) -- The United States on Thursday doubled its bounty for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to $50 million, ramping up pressure on the authoritarian leader that began during the first Trump administration. The U.S. Departments of State and Justice announced the increased reward, stating that the fortune will go to anyone with information that leads to the arrest and/or conviction of Maduro. Today, @TheJusticeDept and @StateDept are announcing a $50 MILLION REWARD for information leading to the arrest of Nicolás Maduro. Attorney General Pamela Bondi (@AGPamBondi) August 7, 2025 In a recorded statement, Attorney General Pam Bondi said it was an "historic" reward, accusing Maduro of using drug cartels that the Trump administration has designated as foreign terrorists to smuggle narcotics -- and violence -- into the United States. The Drug Enforcement Administration has seized 30 tons of cocaine that Bondi said is connected to Maduro and his associates and nearly 7 tons linked directly to the Venezuelan president, Bondi said, adding that her Justice Department has confiscated some $700 million of Maduro-linked assets, including two private jets. "He is one of the largest narcotraffickers in the world, and a threat to our national security," she said. "Under President Trump's leadership, Maduro will not escape justice and he will be held accountable for his despicable crimes." Venezuela has rebuked the accusations, with Caracas' foreign minister, Yvan Gil Pinto, describing the Trump administration's reward as "pathetic" and "the most ridiculous smoke screen we have ever seen." "This lady puts on a media circus to please Venezuela's defeated far right," he said in a statement on Telegram, referring to Bondi. "Her show is a joke -- a desperate distraction from her own miseries. The dignity of our homeland is not for sale. We repudiate this crude political propaganda operation." Maduro was a target of the first Trump administration's failed so-called maximum pressure campaign of sanctions and political pressure to coerce the Venezuelan leader to step down after his re-election to another six-year term in late 2018 was deemed illegitimate. In 2020, the United States charged Maduro, and other members of his regime, with being a leader of the Cartel de los Soles Venezuelan drug-smuggling gang, with the State Department at the time offering up to $15 million for information that could lead to his arrest and conviction. That bounty was then increased to $25 million during the final days of the Biden administration, which had tried to usher in a democratic shift in the country, in retaliation as evidence showed he had lost the July 2024 presidential election. Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has led an administration focused on the border and immigration, seeking to stop migrants and drugs entering the United States and working to deport migrants already here. Latin American gangs have been a focus of this effort, with the State Department in February designating five of them, including the Venezuelan cartel Tren de Aragua, as foreign terrorist organizations and specially designated global terorrists. Trump then in a mid-March executive order claimed that TDA was "perpetrating an invasion of and predatory incursion into the United States," in order to invoke the Alien Enemies Act to mass-deport Venezuelans -- a move that has since been blocked by the courts.
