On the State of Trump’s Kingdom: Foreign Policy

So many “accomplishments” in only seven months! Here’s the list:

1. He threatened a NATO ally with the forced annexation of Greenland;
2. He also threatened to retake the Panama Canal;
3. He alienated the government and population of Canada with his tariffs and his jibes about the 51st state;
4. He similarly alienated the government and population of Mexico with his tariffs and threats of military action against the drug cartels;
5. He offended Brazil with his tariffs and attempts to intervene in domestic political and legal affairs;
6. He alienated India with an extremely high tariff;
7. He gave essentially unconditional support to Israel’s actions in Gaza;
8. He mostly abandoned America’s role as an indirect party in the Ukraine war and became a mediator or arbitrator, but none of it led to peace;
9. He bombed Iran in a brief and opportunistic attempt to put an end to the Iranian nuclear program, with limited success; and
10. He cut humanitarian aid to needy countries, thus reducing American soft power in the Third World.

It’s an impressive list of failures, no?
