"The tariffs are another addition to the perception and assessment in Europe that the U.S. under Donald Trump is not only an unreliable partner, but a partner that cannot be trusted in any way. That changes 80 years of postwar history, when the trans-Atlantic alliance was the core of the Western world and of the global multilateral system." -- economist Guntram Wolff, former director of the German Council on Foreign Relations

www.jfklibrary.org
... The 2025 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award will be presented to Vice President Michael R. Pence for putting his life and career on the line to ensure the constitutional transfer of presidential power on January 6, 2021. The John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award is presented annually by the JFK Library Foundation to public servants for making a courageous decision of conscience without regard for the personal or professional consequences. Caroline Kennedy and Jack Schlossberg will present the award at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum on May 4, 2025 in Boston, MA.[emphasis mine]
Statement from Kennedy and Schlossberg:
"Political courage is not outdated in the United States. At every level of government, leaders are putting country first, and not backing down.
Despite our political differences, it is hard to imagine an act of greater consequence than Vice President Pence's decision to certify the 2020 presidential election during an attack on the U.S. Capitol. Upholding his oath to the Constitution and following his conscience, the Vice President put his life, career, and political future on the line.
His decision is an example of President Kennedy's belief that an act of political courage can change the course of history." ...
