Trump reshapes US foreign policy with wildly successful, business-first Middle East trip

President Donald J. Trump’s Middle East swing was one big, beautiful business trip – and America foreign policy will never be the same. 

As we saw over and over again, Trump believes international relations work best when they consist of sharp-elbowed business deals. When countries are busy trading, launching construction projects, developing AI, etc., then ideology and military confrontation diminish and tolerance thrives. Of course, Trump’s battering of the Houthis with aircraft carriers and bombers greatly facilitated this trip.
