Widening as i speak, with new names added on like a traffic lineup in manhattan. Theres still no indication that donald trump is anywhere near to making one of the key decisions of his presidency, who will serve as his chief diplomat.

President trump believes in oneonone trade deals specifically to the exclusion of Multi Lateral trade deals and would like to get a trade deal done with the united kingdom, particularly after brexit. I think he sees this as a big achievement and binding of president u. K. And United States that have moved at least in his view in a more nationalist direction. Thats what he would like to do. I thought the Prime Ministers comments about nato were so fascinating, really, because there are so many people around the world, u. S. Allies, republicans here at home, that are so concerned that trump could diminish the importance of nato as a part of our foreign policy.
