The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board is reporting on several key issues, including a critical look at former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. It said that while Greenspan achieved many successes, he also contributed to the credit mania that ultimately led to the 2008 financial panic.
The board also highlighted the diversity of the U.S. World Cup soccer squad, noting that a quarter of the team's players were born outside the United States. Separately, it addressed a Micron plant in New York, stating that the project, championed by Chuck Schumer, is years behind schedule due to anticipated challenges.
On international matters, the board reported that Iran's regime is receiving financial relief even before fulfilling nuclear commitments. It also discussed the role of Bible passages in English class, arguing their inclusion is important for cultural literacy.
In commentary, Campbell Brown wrote that artificial intelligence requires public quality testing as society becomes more reliant on these systems. Avigdor Lieberman, in a separate piece, asserted that Israel is not a party to the Iran deal and will continue to defend itself against attacks from the Islamic Republic and its proxies. Gerard Baker, a columnist, examined JD Vance's faith-based ambition, suggesting his politics appear conveniently flexible. Walter Russell Mead discussed China's ambitious AI blueprint, which aims to create a "people-vehicle-home" ecosystem.
The Journal also noted a podcast and video discussing the U.S.-Iran talks and the resignation of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who would be the seventh PM in 10 years, with Andy Burnham as his successor.
