Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election may further strain the U.K.’s negotiations with Brussels. More failure would almost certainly reverberate badly in Ireland.

Mr. Johnson is on unsteady footing: Mr. Biden opposed Brexit, is unlikely to prioritize a trade deal with London and has ruled out such a deal altogether if Britain does anything to water down the protections of Northern Ireland that are enshrined in the withdrawal agreement. Mr. Johnson now must balance his determination to pressure Brussels with his desire not to antagonize Mr. Biden. Quote: “The election completely changed the game,” said Mujtaba Rahman, an analyst at the Eurasia Group, a political risk consultancy. Within hours of the announcement, protests broke out in Yerevan, Armenia’s capital, and a crowd broke into the main government building.

The agreement calls for Armenian troops to withdraw from the enclave, where they will be replaced by Russian peacekeepers. While three earlier cease-fires have collapsed, this agreement suggests a more permanent, sweeping redrawing of the security map of the southern Caucasus, a volatile region wedged between Turkey, Russia and Iran. The settlement sealed a role in the region for an increasingly assertive Turkey, a supporter of Azerbaijan in the war, which began in September. Within hours of the announcement, protests had erupted in Yerevan, Armenia’s capital. A crowd broke into the main government building and ripped Mr. Pashinyan’s nameplate off the door of the prime minister’s office, according to footage from Russian television news. Official remarks: “I personally made a very hard decision for me and all of us,” Mr. Pashinyan wrote in a [statement](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhjLIJP0TdaHR0cHM6Ly9yaWEucnUvMjAyMDExMTAva2FyYWJha2gtMTU4Mzg0MzA2Mi5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X01CRV9wXzIwMjAxMTEwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTIzOTYxJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3Mmc2VnbWVudF9pZD00NDA3OSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKACQJLapf-WdUD1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) announcing the agreement. “It’s not a victory, but there’s no defeat.” How it started: For years, the countries’ leaders had agreed to postpone discussion about the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Divisions among Democrats. Immediately after the race was called, the progressive and moderate wings of the party blamed each other for Democrats’ ceding ground in the House and failing to win clear control of the Senate. Gridlock with Republicans. Whether Republicans keep hold of the Senate won’t be decided until two Georgia runoff elections are held in January. If they do, Mr. Biden has a solid working history with the lawmaker who will be majority leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. That makes possible some bipartisan action on matters like infrastructure and economic stimulus, though after such a bitter election, neither side may be in a mood to compromise. Balance the cabinet. Mr. Biden’s first major appointments came on Monday: He chose 13 members for his coronavirus task force. Future appointments will reveal how he plans to balance the concerns of the left, right and center. Cool down trade tensions. The days of presidential tweets threatening trade wars may be over, but few foresee a wholesale change. Mr. Biden’s focus is at home, so pandemic relief is the priority even if allies press him to act on tariffs. Longer term, the Biden economic plan is focused on “bringing home critical supply chains so that we aren’t dependent on other countries in future crises.” That’s it for this briefing.
