Neither A Hyperpower Nor A Fortress Authored by R. Jordan Prescott via RealClearDefense , In January 2017, Donald Trump stated America First would be the foundation of his administration's agenda. America First defies easy explanation, primarily because its invocation is a declaration of opposition, a rebuttal to proponents of globalization or overseas intervention. The first Trump National Security Strategy (NSS), issued in 2017, framed America First as a realist construct for responding to the growing political, economic, and military competition presented by China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The new 2025 NSS refines this construct by declaring the administration's commitment to the "continued survival and safety of the United States as an independent, sovereign republic." Whereas administrations have been issuing such strategy documents since Congress established the mandate in 1986, the latest Trump Administration NSS is unique in its arrival eight years after its first term version in 2017. Given the rarity of presidents succeeding their successor, the likelihood another administration will have such an opportunity is low. The question of what changed is easily answered by reviewing the history of the intervening Biden Administration's crises and failures. Nevertheless, China, Ukraine, and Israel were flashpoints in preceding administrations. Accordingly, what catalyzed the revision of America First from the focus on great power competition to the emphasis on sovereignty? As the unipolar moment faded, the neoliberal and neoconservative duopoly comprising the foreign policy elite announced the advent of a multipolar system demarcated by antagonism between capitalist democracies—the United States and the European Union—and mercantilist autocracies—Russia and the People's Republic of China. The perspective was persuasive because it was consistent with the history of the West in conflict with hostile ideologies and regimes—World War II against fascism, the Cold...

Key Points Most Americans are confident that companies focused on AI will offer substantial long-term returns, even amid discussions of a market bubble. The strongest gains may come from smaller semiconductor names and suppliers to data center ecosystems. Nvidia's business will continue to grow as long as AI use keeps expanding. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Investors don't always need to be creative or clever to outperform the market. Sometimes the most obvious investment can be the one right in front of your face. Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is one of those stocks as 2026 gets underway.

Investing.com -- Sandisk stock surged 27% Tuesday after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang described the memory storage chip market as an "unserved market" with massive growth potential. Other memory and storage stocks also rallied, with Western Digital jumping 17%, Seagate Technology rising 14%, and Micron gaining 9%. Speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) with analysts, Huang highlighted a significant opportunity in the storage sector. "For storage, that is a completely unserved market today," Huang said. "This market will likely be the largest storage market in the world, basically holding the working memory of the world’s AIs." Huang emphasized that AI-related storage needs are outpacing current infrastructure capabilities. "The amount of context memory, the amount of token memory that we process, KB cache we process, is now just way too high. You’re not going to keep up with the old storage system," he noted. Lynx Equity analyst KC Rajkumar attributed Micron’s rise to management discussions about visibility into 2027 during the CES meeting. Regarding Sandisk’s surge, Rajkumar pointed to "Asia checks from sell-side saying <50% of bit demand being satisfied, meaning NAND prices have further upside" and Huang’s introduction of "KV cache" - a new storage solution for Nvidia’s Rubin platform, where "each GPU is allocated 16GB of flash storage."

LAS VEGAS, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Mobileye Global on Tuesday said it would acquire humanoid robotics startup Mentee Robotics for about $900 million, as the Israeli self-driving technology firm bets on what it sees as the next frontier of artificial intelligence. The deal highlights the overlap between autonomous driving and robotics, where similar sensing, perception and decision-making technologies underpin the emerging field of embodied AI. Interest in humanoid robotics, in particular, is surging, driven by the idea that human-like forms can better adapt to existing warehouses, factories and complex settings, helping to ease labor shortages and boost productivity. Intel spun out its computer vision business RealSense last year to speed expansion into robotics. It also remains the largest shareholder in Mobileye with about a 23% stake. Amnon Shashua, who serves as the CEO of Mobileye, cofounded Mentee Robotics and is the startup's co-CEO. Mentee raised about $21 million in a funding round in March, valuing the startup at roughly $162 million, according to PitchBook data. The company counts Cisco and Samsung's VC arms among its investors. Tesla, Figure AI, Agility Robotics and several Chinese startups are among the companies racing to develop two-legged robots capable of performing a wide range of tasks. Tesla CEO Elon Musk expects humanoid robots to become the company's largest business in the long term. The deal, announced at the CES technology show in Las Vegas, brings together Mobileye's software, sensing and safety systems for self-driving cars with Mentee's development of general-purpose humanoid robots. Mentee Robotics says it bypasses the need for massive real-world data collection to train the robot by transforming a single human demonstration into millions of virtual repetitions. First proof-of-concept deployments with customers are expected in 2026, with series production and commercialization targeted for 2028. It added that the transaction, sub...

U.S. President Donald Trump gestures as he arrives to address House Republicans at their annual issues conference retreat, at the Kennedy Center, renamed the Trump-Kennedy Center by the Trump-appointed board of directors, in Washington, D.C., U.S., January 6, 2026. Kevin Lamarque | Reuters President Donald Trump and his team are considering "a range of options" in order to acquire Greenland, including "utilizing the U.S. Military," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNBC on Tuesday. The statement further escalates the Trump administration's rhetoric about Greenland, which the president has long sought to make a part of the United States. Trump said Sunday that the U.S. needs Greenland for national security purposes, pointing to Russian and Chinese activities in the region near the Arctic island. This is breaking news.

If you are looking for monthly dividend payers, this trio offers high yield, growth, and turnaround opportunities. Some dividend investors focus exclusively on dividend yields. That's not a bad thing, but if you are trying to generate cash from your portfolio to pay for living expenses, you may also want to consider dividend frequency. Some companies pay only one dividend per year, which can be a budgeting nightmare. Other companies, like Realty Income (O 0.74%), Agree Realty (ADC 1.77%), and EPR Properties (EPR +0.43%), pay monthly, which makes budgeting a breeze. Here's why you might want to get to know these three real estate investment trusts (REITs). Realty Income is a foundational investment Realty Income is one of the world's largest REITs. It is by far the largest competitor in the net lease space, where tenants are responsible for paying most property-level operating costs. The downside of being so large is that Realty Income is a slow-growing business. That's just basic math, given that it requires a lot of acquisition activity to grow a portfolio that already contains over 15,500 properties. Expand NYSE : O Realty Income Today's Change ( -0.74 %) $ -0.43 Current Price $ 57.42 Key Data Points Market Cap $53B Day's Range $ 56.70 - $ 57.94 52wk Range $ 50.71 - $ 61.09 Volume 12M Avg Vol 5.9M Gross Margin 48.14 % Dividend Yield 5.57 % However, if you are a conservative investor, Realty Income's lofty 5.6% yield will be of interest to you. It is backed by an industry-leading company with an investment-grade-rated balance sheet. And the monthly pay dividend has been increased annually for 30 years. This is the kind of dividend stock on which you build a portfolio, using it to support investments in lower-yielding but faster-growing businesses. Agree Realty is a growth story Agree Realty is also a net lease REIT, but with a roughly $8 billion market cap, it is just a fraction of the size of $50 billion market cap industry giant Realty Income.

Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel , in trading on Thursday, shares of Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (Symbol: CFR) were yielding above the 3% mark based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $3.8), with the stock changing hands as low as $126.07 on the day. Dividends are particularly important for investors to consider, because historically speaking dividends have provided a considerable share of the stock market's total return. To illustrate, suppose for example you purchased shares of the iShares Russell 3000 ETF (IWV) back on 5/31/2000 — you would have paid $78.27 per share. Fast forward to 5/31/2012 and each share was worth $77.79 on that date, a loss of $0.48 or 0.6% decrease over twelve years. But now consider that you collected a whopping $10.77 per share in dividends over the same period, increasing your return to 13.15%. Even with dividends reinvested, that only amounts to an average annual total return of about 1.0%; so by comparison collecting a yield above 3% would appear considerably attractive if that yield is sustainable. Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (Symbol: CFR) is a member of the Russell 3000, giving it special status as one of the largest 3000 companies on the U.S. stock markets. In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc., looking at the history chart for CFR below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 3% annual yield.

US discussing options to acquire Greenland, including use of military - White House Just now Share Save Share Save 'We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security,' Trump says President Donald Trump has been discussing "a range of options" to acquire Greenland, including use of the US military, the White House said. In a statement, the White House told the BBC that Trump had made clear that acquiring Greenland was a "national security priority". "The president and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the US military is always an option at the Commander-in-Chief's disposal," the White House said. It comes after Trump again said at the weekend that the US "needed" Greenland – a semi-autonomous region of fellow Nato member Denmark – for security reasons. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned on Monday that any attack by the US would spell the end of Nato. Nato is a trans-Atlantic military group where allies are expected to go to each other's aid in case of external attacks. The issue of Greenland's future resurfaced in the wake of the US military intervention in Venezuela, during which elite troops went in to seize the country's President Nicolás Maduro and take him to face drugs and weapons charges in New York. A day after that raid, Katie Miller - the wife of one of Trump's senior aides - posted a map on social media of Greenland in the colours of the American flag, alongside the word "SOON". On Monday, her husband Stephen Miller said it was "the formal position of the US government that Greenland should be part of the US". In an interview with CNN, he also said the US "is the power of Nato. For the US to secure the Arctic region, to protect and defend Nato and Nato interests, obviously Greenland should be part of the US." Asked repeatedly whether the US would rule out using force to annex it, Miller responded: "Nobody's going to fight the US over the future of Greenland...

NVIDIA’s recent performance snapshot NVIDIA (NVDA) continues to draw attention from investors, with the stock recently closing at $188.12. Short term returns are mixed, with a 1 day decline, flat year to date, and modest gains over the past month. See our latest analysis for NVIDIA. Recent share price moves for NVIDIA have been relatively muted over shorter periods, while the 1 year and multi year total shareholder returns remain very strong. This suggests momentum has cooled compared with previous years, but long term holders have still seen substantial gains. If NVIDIA’s recent share price pause has you thinking about where else growth stories might emerge, it could be a good time to look at high growth tech and AI stocks. So with NVIDIA’s strong multi year returns, solid recent revenue and net income growth of around 26%, and a share price sitting below analyst price targets, is this a fresh opportunity, or is the market already pricing in future growth? Most Popular Narrative: 45.5% Undervalued According to RobertoAllende, the narrative fair value of US$345.07 sits well above NVIDIA’s last close of US$188.12, framing a sizeable valuation gap. NVIDIA's latest quarterly earnings report, released this week, showcases a company that has successfully navigated one of the most challenging questions in modern tech investing: How do you justify a multi-trillion dollar valuation in an era of AI hype? The answer, it turns out, lies in execution. Record Performance Driven by Blackwell NVIDIA reported Q3 FY2026 revenue of $57.0 billion, marking a 62% increase year-over-year and a 22% sequential gain from the previous quarter. The company's Data Center segment, which now represents the overwhelming majority of revenue, reached $51.2 billion, up 66% from a year ago. Read the complete narrative. Curious how this narrative reaches a much higher fair value than today’s price? It leans on huge data center revenue, chunky margins, and a future earnings multiple that assumes strong...
