Opinion: Foreign adverseries have figured Trump out
By David Ignatius David Ignatius Columnist covering foreign affairs Email Bio Follow Columnist May 14 at 6:18 PM President Trump has styled himself in foreign policy as the Great Disrupter. And for a time, this unpredictable approach served him reasonably well. Leaders from China, North Korea and Iran found themselves off balance, and they sometimes made what looked like concessions.
Looking at the various global showdowns, you can see a common theme — of adversaries that appear more willing to take risks in resisting Trump’s demands. Trump’s response is often to double down. This dynamic carries a danger of miscalculation. Either way, Trump’s negotiating style seemed to be part of the problem. Trump and President Xi Jinping will meet at next month’s Group of 20 summit, perhaps for a reset.
The bottom line is that with North Korea, as with China, Trump’s disruptive style has had diminishing returns.
