Deep dives
Trump's Negotiation Style and Foreign Policy
Trump's self-image as a dealmaker shapes his approach to international relations, often prioritizing keeping options open rather than adhering to established agreements. This ambiguity can embolden adversarial nations, creating uncertainty about U.S. commitments and leading to challenges against existing international obligations. In discussions about Ukraine, for example, Trump's evasive responses during debates highlight his reluctance to commit firmly to supporting Ukrainian sovereignty. The possibility of erratic policy shifts under a Trump administration raises concerns about the strategic reliability of the U.S. as a dominant global actor.
