The last two months we’ve been following the Putin contract especially (July edition, August edition), and we now take a fresh look for September.

Calendar Chess

Rules matter: any in-person, phone, or video meeting counts before Oct 1. That makes rumor a weapon. Look at the map. Trump just hosted Poland’s president at the White House on Sep 3, signaling alignment with frontline NATO.

He staged a Rose Garden dinner with top tech bosses on Sep 4, telegraphing domestic focus and donor management. Mid month, he flies to the UK for a state visit with King Charles III and meetings with British leadership, then heads into UNGA week (United Nations General Assembly) in New York around Sep 23. This is a month designed to rack up friendly bilateral meetings and visual wins.
