Two and a half years into his presidency, Trump finds himself increasingly isolated as he forges ahead in each dispute — all exacerbated by his go-it-alone strategy
President Donald Trump pulled the United States out of a landmark nuclear deal with Iran over the objections of every other country that signed the agreement. Now, he’s stuck in a dangerously escalating standoff with Tehran.He accepted an offer to sit down with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un on the spot, without consulting anyone else. Now, Pyongyang is restarting weapons tests and once again training its rhetorical fire on the U.S.
Those divisions will be on display later this week when Trump heads to Japan for an annual meeting of the globe’s 20 biggest economies. While the talks are designed to center on financial issues, a series of foreign policy flashpoints — starting with Iran — are expected to overshadow the meetings. “Trump has approached diplomatic negotiations like business deals, including personal engagement, high stakes gambles and threats to walk away. Yet international relations has complicated and sometimes dangerous second-order effects,” said Amanda Sloat, who served as deputy assistant secretary at the State Department and as a senior adviser on the Middle East at the Obama White House.
In every instance, Trump essentially acted unilaterally, shunning the customary support and input of the United States’ allies, as he attempted to make good on his “America First” strategy. In addition to sending more troops to the Middle East amid rising tensions with Iran, Trump has twice ordered strikes in Syria as warnings to President Bashar Assad over his use of chemical weapons on civilians. And Trump’s military advisers have so far convinced the president to retain a military presence in Syria and Afghanistan.
Iran is not Trump’s only unfinished business. After the G-20 summit, Trump will stop in Seoul to visit with South Korea President Moon Jae-in and discuss North Korea.
