 In the Quest for Successful Refugee Integration, Merkel Must Address Employment Discrimination Against Ethnic Minorities in Germany Head-On , by Laura Kupe, Truman Political Partner

 Discrimination against ethnic minorities is still commonplace in Germany, and the Merkel government should develop legal and policy tools that adequately address the barrier that employment discrimination could present to the successful integration of refugees.

Engaging with Rural America on the Mueller Investigation , by Andrew Person, Truman Security Fellow

Troops at risk if Iran deal fails , by Phil Caruso, Truman Defense Council 
Though arguably narrow, the Iran Deal nevertheless may well have averted war&mdash;a war unworthy of its cost in blood and treasure to American citizens, and which would have devastated American allies in the region.

Don&#39;t open eastern Gulf of Mexico to offshore drilling , by Heather Beaven, Truman Defense Council

 The Trump Administration and Congress must reject calls to lease new areas for oil drilling along Florida&rsquo;s Gulf Coast, for the risks to our national security operations and vibrant coastal economies are far too great.

 We are on a trajectory for a full transgender ban in March absent a successful federal lawsuit seeking injunctive relief of the revised White House policy, a compelling recommendation made by the Secretary of Defense that changes the president&rsquo;s mind, or congressional intervention.
