Trump Diplomatic Blitz Spins Big Gambles as Signs of Success

It was the kind of week that would make even a seasoned diplomat’s head spin: China trade talks, India-Pakistan truce, a ceasefire with the Houthis and Iran nuclear negotiations. Not to mention a Gaza hostage release, new trade framework with the UK and the tantalizing prospect of ending Russia’s war in Ukraine.

For President Donald Trump’s boosters, these are proof that his hard-charging America First foreign and trade policies are yielding results better and faster than his predecessors could only imagine.
