Europe is watching. How come the candidates don’t talk about the global view on America and the necessity to reconnect to allies? — Yasha Young, Berlin Edward: The two candidates have very different views on America’s traditional security alliances. If Donald Trump were to be president again, he might not bolster America’s traditional alliances; he could very well weaken them instead. Vice President Kamala Harris has not talked much about foreign policy since becoming the Democratic candidate this summer. But most analysts think she will carry on President Biden’s efforts to strengthen traditional U.S. alliances. Most American voters do not see foreign policy as a decisive issue or a priority in U.S. elections, unless American troops are directly involved in a disastrous war, so candidates generally do not spend much time talking about U.S. alliances or global affairs. However, we might see journalists ask both Harris and Trump questions about their foreign policy views in the televised debate on Tuesday.

Scientists are measuring pretty much every tree in it: 125,000 individual woody plants, from gigantic kapok trees to tightly coiled liana vines. It is part of a multimillion-dollar effort in dozens of patches across the world aimed at figuring out, to an unprecedented degree of precision, the extent to which forests capture huge amounts of carbon dioxide, the main planet-warming greenhouse gas. Our reporters spent days with the scientists conducting the Amazon tree census.
