Trump's Unilateral Approach

• Trump prefers a bilateral, non-partnership approach to international relations, prioritizing personal success.
• This contrasts with traditional US foreign policy and may affect his ability to form alliances.
• Domestically, interrelation between issues like tax cuts and border security require careful management which might be challenging for Trump.
• Republican leaders will need to balance these interconnected issues, and Trump's ability to manage this is uncertain.
• The Trump administration's surprise at the interconnectedness of these issues, despite prior experience, raises concerns about their strategic approach.
