'A focus on personal relationships is important but it has to be coupled with a hard-nosed business of diplomacy,' William Burns.
President Donald Trump’s overreliance on personal relationships to conduct global diplomacy is putting him at risk of exploitation by the world’s most powerful and ambitious dictators, a former deputy secretary of state has warned.
The president is often criticized for being obsequious when meeting with strongman leaders. He told a press conference that he believed Putin’s denial of meddling in the 2016 presidential election despite analysis from his own intelligence agencies; he praised young dictator Kim’s ability to command respect among his officials; and lauded Xi’s appointment as Chinese president for life—even suggesting the U.S. should try a similar system.
The folly of such an approach is evident in some of his most high-profile foreign policy failures. North Korean denuclearization is at a standstill because the U.S. and North Korea are still too far apart on their demands, despite Trump’s efforts to bridge the gap by meeting his “friend” Kim twice.
