Under Trump, the US has two separate foreign policies (opinion)
CNNEditor’s Note: Frida Ghitis, a former CNN producer and correspondent, is a world affairs columnist. Under Trump, the Unjted States has at least two separate foreign policies: The President’s and everybody else’s. In fact, Trump’s rambunctious style has spawned a pattern: The President speaks, meets, declares, and then foreign policy figures rush to clean up, often finding excuses for Trump’s statements. If Trump was happy to accept Kim’s vague promises and declare victory, Pompeo, who has a more, shall we say, traditional approach to foreign policy, wanted concrete answers. You could hear a transatlantic gasp when Trump said, “I think the European Union is a foe.” A flabbergasted EU Council President Donald Tusk tweeted “American and the EU are best friends.
