Why is Trump upending 80 years of US foreign policy?
Briefly

Why is Trump upending 80 years of US foreign policy?
"United States President Donald Trump realises the rules-based international order never existed, and he's willing to turn his back on that, former Trump administration official Christian Whiton argues."
"Whiton tells Steve Clemons that US foreign policy remained fairly consistent over the past 80 years while Trump is happy to upset the globalists and the establishment unity party in Washington Republican and Democrat and all the generals."
"In Europe, the US would like to see more populist, anti-immigration governments, Whiton said, adding that Western societies should cast aside the idea that they are inherently racist, a patriarchy [with] a racist, imperialist history."
Donald Trump realizes the rules-based international order never existed and is willing to turn his back on it. U.S. foreign policy remained fairly consistent over the past 80 years, but Trump is disrupting that continuity by challenging globalists, the bipartisan Washington establishment, and senior military leaders. The United States seeks to encourage more populist, anti-immigration governments in Europe. Western societies should cast aside narratives that they are inherently racist, patriarchal, or defined primarily by a racist, imperialist history. A strategic reset of U.S. relations with the world is presented as the appropriate response to these shifts.
