US-Presidency is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.

Donald Trump campaigned on a pledge to do things differently and to do different things in foreign policy. He has been good to his word since getting to the White House. He has canceled U.S. participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, withdrawn the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, refused to certify that Iran is in compliance with its nuclear obligations, recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, ramped up the use of drones, and relegated democracy and human rights to the sidelines of U.S. foreign policy… Many of America’s closest allies are worried. They fear the era of U.S. global leadership is ending. If so, the consequences are epic.
