Clarence Seedorf hired to coach Brazilian club Corinthians in relegation fight

President Donald Trump prepares for a group photo on a red carpet at the National Archives Museum in Washington.

Corinthians hired Clarence Seedorf on Sunday for the Netherlands playing great’s first coaching job since 2019 — and a relegation fight in Brazil's top tier.

 

Julia tells us why she chose this photo

As is often the case with covering politics, hours of preparation went into about 11 minutes of photography. I set up a ladder on a riser across from the National Archives Museum at around 6:30 a.m. Trump’s and Xi’s motorcades arrived at 11:49 a.m. They were out of their vehicles at 11:50 a.m., and I took this photo at 11:51 a.m. They entered the museum at 11:55 a.m. and emerged at 12:03 p.m., and their motorcades were gone by 12:08 p.m. The photo works for two reasons: the red carpet laid out across the staircase of a public museum, with only the four people on it, and the interaction between the two couples. The Trumps are both primping themselves for the photo op, while Xi and Peng watch.
