Within weeks of his inauguration,
President Donald Trump had already wrought a strategic revolution in
U.S. foreign policy. Russia, formerly an antagonist, has been promoted
to preferred partner. In its place, Team Trump has identified a new
enemy. With this enemy there can be no coexistence, no cooperation. It
must be humbled and divided, not merely defeated but utterly overthrown.
This enemy is the European Union.
Previously stridently opposed to any U.S. action against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, Trump ordered a cruise-missile attack on a Syrian airfield—and then the next week criticized President Obama in a Fox Business interview for following the very advice that citizen Trump had pressed since 2013. Might the president yet also reverse himself on the European Union too?
Bottom line: President Trump continuously acts impulsively and consequently has alienated most of the friendly nations and allies the US had in the past. Even some of his Republican party members in the Senate and Congress now are openly suggesting the US President is taking the US into the :deep end" of a cesspool he himself has created.
