Trump’s ten months in power
Since assuming the US presidency about 10 months ago, Donald Trump has spent much of his time trying to repeal or reverse achievements of his predecessor Barack Obama. In addition, the US’ withdrawal from NAFTA, Paris Agreement on climate change and UNESCO illustrates that the US foreign policy under his watch will be protectionist, at best.
Trump’s policies and decisions are even disliked by his own party men. His attempt to replace Obamacare, the Obama-era healthcare policy, has met with stiff resistance from the top Republicans. His immature handling of the diplomatic row with Cuba or decision to ‘decertify’ Iran nuclear deal has raised eyebrows among the US allies abroad. His action has made him a laughing stock before the international community and weakened the US position as the leader of the free world.
