This issue examined the fallout from Trump's Hamburg summit with Putin, which contributors including Eric Edelman and Garry Kasparov characterized as a significant diplomatic failure and a victory for the Russian leader. The magazine also featured Ray Takeyh's historical analysis debunking myths surrounding the 1953 Iranian coup, arguing the CIA played a more limited role than commonly believed. Additional coverage included the ongoing status of the Iran nuclear deal, presidential relations with the press, and controversies ranging from Canada's settlement with an al Qaeda-linked terrorist to juvenile transgender medical treatments.
