Trump’s mainstream picks for top foreign policy posts could reassure allies — and worry China

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump is famously unconventional, but he made conventional picks for his two top foreign policy positions. They’ve also been open to working with Democrats — a point underscored when Sen. Mark Warner, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Rubio would be a “strong voice for American interests” abroad. But Rubio, like Waltz in the House, has altered his public statements and legislative votes to more closely align with Trump’s criticism of the Biden administration’s backing of Ukraine as it battles invading Russian forces. “Trump didn’t say China was an enemy during his first term and the presidential elections, but the hawkish officials he has appointed may believe China is an enemy to some extent,” Shen said. Robert Manning, a China expert at the Stimson Center, said Trump is not as ideologically driven as Rubio but he raised concerns that Trump’s foreign policy could be more disruptive than President Joe Biden’s.
