Businesspeople rely on government. If someone breaks a contract, the wronged party can sue, and the government enforces the verdict. (Or they can use bankruptcy laws to screw their partners, and the government won't allow violence in response).

Trump and Kushner's business strategies rely on a government-enforced environment. There's no such thing in foreign policy. And they're terrible at building the lasting, trusting relationships that lead to success. Sorry, Jared. In international relations the past matters. A lot.

The President is trying to move away from the liberal/conservative world order and replace it with transactional diplomacy. Each speech is about, "what America can get out of it". As for building long-lasting relationships, that doesn't seem to be the goal.
-
He literally said "they can vote against us, I don't care, it will save us money" about the UN/Jerusalem declaration... All he cares about is power and $$$

But in the world, there's more power in coalitions than going it alone. You don't get to lord it over people though.
-
Absolutely. The
#President is going to need a coalition if he intends to to militarily engage#NorthKorea. -
Militarily, economically, diplomatically. It's easier to get cooperation on North Korea because most countries' interests align (at least somewhat). Much harder when they diverge. On Iran, for example.
-
Russia and China do not want regime change in North Korea. It risks a possible unified Korea, under a capitalist government. In order for a successful military engagement with the North, it requires China and Russia working with the US, or stepping aside.
-
No. But neither want war or nuclear proliferation either.
-
True. Do you think that Russia or China is willing to accept regime change? Or if a war breaks out, will the US and it's coalition be willing to withdraw to DMZ border, allowing for temporary Chinese control of the North?

Kushner, like Trump, is so clearly in over his head. Completely inept at both business and government.

When trump and his surrogates walk around being naked about just getting the best deal for America now they are missing the biggest part of foreign relations. You give now to get later. Sometimes you get screwed in the process but it’s worth it so that Australia gives you intel
