May 20: Most Americans (70 percent) believe the U.S. should be the moral leader of the world. But there's a 10-point drop when people are asked if the U.S. is that moral leader. The change is due to Democrats and independents. With Trump as president, Democrats drop off 14 points, independents 17.

November 15: Trump's Diplomacy Probably Pushed China To Start Talks With North Korea, Experts Say

China will soon send a senior diplomat to visit North Korea for the first time in two years, indicating that President Donald Trump's recent pressure on Beijing to tackle Kim Jong Un's regime and its nuclear program might finally be working, experts say.

Chinese state media reported on President Xi Jinping's decision Wednesday, days after Trump finished a 12-day Asia tour in which he visited China and pleaded with regional leaders to confront Kim.

“I don’t believe in coincidences, and they are sending this guy right after Trump’s visit,” Robert Manning, a former State Department official and East Asia expert, told Newsweek. “There was a comfort level between Xi and Trump on North Korea during this recent visit. But we don’t know what they’ve agreed to.”

February 12: Trump admin wants to slash funding for diplomacy

But the proposed 29% cut from 2017 funding levels -- even as crises escalate in Asia and the Middle East and many key State Department positions remain unfilled -- drew sharp protests from lawmakers, retired military leaders and development advocates, who argued that it would undermine US security and leadership.

June 10: Merkel's G7 photo says everything about Trump's diplomacy – or does it?

A picture released by the chancellor showed the president at bay at the G7 – and it’s an image the US too seems happy to promote

But a day after Trump left a trail of diplomatic chaos from Canada to Singapore, the site of his summit with Kim Jong-un of North Korea, a picture of world leaders apparently confronting Trump dominated reactions to the G7 summit.

It shows Trump, arms folded and eyes glaring, sitting while around him stand a group of world leaders and their advisers.

June 21: Breaking the News Frame Of Trump’s Nuclear Diplomacy

An ebullient President Trump flew home Tuesday with what he called a “very, very comprehensive” agreement with North Korea, even as lawmakers, analysts
and allies congratulated the effort but questioned the substance of what had been achieved.

The brief document signed by Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un provided virtually no detail beyond a stated commitment to "denuclearize" the Korean Peninsula, a promise that Pyongyang has made and ignored many times in the past.

June 26: Bipartisan legislation introduced Tuesday calls for stringent congressional oversight of U.S. nuclear diplomacy with North Korea and any deal President Donald Trump strikes with Kim Jong Un.

It comes two weeks after Trump met Kim at a historic summit in Singapore that yielded a North Korean commitment to the “complete denuclearization” of the Korean Peninsula but failed to spell how that goal, which has eluded past U.S. administrations, would be achieved and how long it might take.

“After the administration signed a vague joint statement in Singapore without any details on a pathway forward on denuclearization, the need for congressional oversight is more evident than ever,” Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, top-ranking Democrat in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement.
