June 16: Trump On John Kerry and the Iran nuclear talks: “I will stop Iran from
getting nuclear weapons. And we won’t be using a man like Secretary Kerry that
has absolutely no concept of negotiation, who’s making a horrible and laughable
deal, who’s just being tapped along as they make weapons right now and then goes
into a bicycle race at 72-years-old and falls and breaks his leg. I won’t be
doing that. And I promise, I will never be in a bicycle race — that I can tell
you.”

of them that are overrated. They're not

2017-2018:
Trump’s Foreign Policy Moments ... 2017 – 2018
President Trump’s first year signaled a profound departure of U.S. leadership in
areas like trade and climate policy, and an across-the-board toughening of
immigration practices. The moves reflected the administration’s push for an
America First agenda.
https://www.cfr.org/timeline/trumps-foreign-policy-moments
February 27: More than 120 retired three and
four-star generals just sent a letter to the House and Senate leadership calling
on Congress to “ensure that resources for the International Affairs Budget keep
pace with the growing global threats and opportunities we face.”
The letter comes
amid
reports that the State Department could see a cut of “as much as 30%” in the
Administration’s budget outline to Congress.

February 28: As civil society organizations committed to multilateral
cooperation as a means to creating a better, safer world, we urge you to support
strong U.S. leadership at the United Nations, including by fully meeting our
nation’s financial obligations to the organization. Continued engagement with
the UN is critical to advancing a number of core U.S. foreign policy objectives,
including securing recent gains in international development, delivering
lifesaving humanitarian assistance, combating terrorism, encouraging the
peaceful resolution of conflict, and promoting universal human rights.
https://betterworldcampaign.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/BWC-UN-Funding-Congressional-Sign-on-Letter-2.27.2017.pdf
February 28: Trump plan to slash State,
foreign aid spending has foes in Congress ... “I am very concerned by reports of
deep cuts that could damage efforts to combat terrorism, save lives and create
opportunities for American workers,” said U.S. Representative Ed Royce, the
Republican chairman of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee.
Royce said his panel would “thoroughly review” the budget request when Trump
sends it to Congress.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-congress/trump-plan-to-slash-state-foreign-aid-spending-has-foes-in-congress-idUSKBN1672GI
March 1: John Glaser, an Associate Director of Foreign Policy Studies
at the CATO Institute, said cuts were not likely to significantly worsen the
plight of people facing famine and war, because a lot of the aid comes in the
form of military aid to foreign countries.
"While cutting the foreign aid budget may generate some gaps in resources for
people in need, US foreign aid largely does not target the most in need,"
Glaser told CNN.

March 9: After topping the polls for months,
anti-immigrant, anti-Islam, far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders, often
dubbed the Dutch Donald Trump, is now polling in second place, less than a week
before the Dutch national elections.
https://www.voanews.com/a/netherlands-wilders-parliamentary-election/3757272.html
March 16: ...
centre-right Prime Minister Mark Rutte [won a] resounding victory over
anti-Islam and anti-EU Geert Wilders early on Thursday ... there was relief from
other EU governments facing a wave of nationalism. ... Rutte's VVD Party won 33
of parliament's 150 seats. ... "It is also an evening in which the Netherlands,
after Brexit, after the American elections, said 'stop' to the wrong kind of
populism," he said.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/16/won-dutch-election-does-mean-geert-wilders-far-right-netherlands/
March 16: The final days of the [Dutch]
election were dominated by a diplomatic row with Turkey over the Dutch
government's refusal to allow Turkish ministers to address political rallies in
the Netherlands.
Krouwel said
the war of words between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the
Dutch government in the past month may have boosted support for Rutte.

March 14: Saudi Arabia hailed a “historical
turning point” in U.S.-Saudi relations after a meeting between U.S. President
Donald Trump and Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman highlighted the two
leaders’ shared view that Iran posed a regional security threat.
The meeting on Tuesday appeared to signal a meeting of the minds on many issues
between Trump and Prince Mohammed, in a marked difference from Riyadh’s often
fraught relationship with the Obama administration, especially in the wake of
the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

March 16: The 62 agencies and programs Trump
wants to eliminate ... President Trump's proposed budget takes a cleaver to
domestic programs, with many agencies taking percentage spending cuts in the
double digits.
But for dozens of smaller agencies and programs, the cut is 100%.
Community development block grants. The Weatherization Assistance Program. The
Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program. The National Endowment for the Arts.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting. All would be axed if Congress adopts
Trump's budget.
Also proposed for elimination are lesser-known bureaucracies like the
McGovern-Dole International Food for Education Program, the Endocrine Disruptor
Screening Program and the Inter-American Foundation.

March 17: During the 2016 race, [Trump] knocked
the country [Saudi Arabia] for insufficiently compensating the US for its military presence in
the region and scolded the Clinton Foundation for accepting money from Saudi
Arabia despite its human rights record.
"Without us, Saudi Arabia wouldn't
exist for very long," [Trump] warned.

May 17: Erdogan’s
guards clash with protesters outside Turkish ambassador’s D.C. residence ...
Tuesday’s clash involving protesters and security guards for visiting Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan prompted outrage by local and U.S. officials who
accused the guards of using violence to quell what had been a peaceful
demonstration in Northwest Washington.
D.C. police arrested two men, one from Virginia and one from New York, and said
they are pursuing charges against additional suspects since the melee outside
the Turkish ambassador’s residence at Sheridan Circle. Eleven people were
injured, among them a police officer. Some were kicked and stomped, their heads
bloodied.

May 20: President Trump, in the first
stop of his maiden trip abroad, received a regal welcome Saturday in Saudi
Arabia, feted by the wealthy kingdom as he aims to forge strong alliances to
combat terrorism while pushing past the multiple controversies threatening to engulf
his young administration.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/president-trump-saudi-arabia-trip-middle-east-europe-comey-russia/
May 20: As President Trump begins his first
overseas trip, Americans have widely differing views of his approach to foreign
policy. But a majority of both Republicans and Democrats want the U.S. to
continue its robust engagement with the rest of the world.
More than half the people surveyed in a
new NPR/Ipsos poll said America's foreign policy should focus on maintaining
the current global order — with the U.S. at the center. Less than a quarter said
the country's foreign policy should look out for Americans, even if it harms
people in other countries.

May 22: President Trump has landed in Israel
for the second leg of his nine-day trip abroad, which started in Saudi Arabia
and will end in Italy.
Trump's flight to Israel was more notable than most Air Force One landings: His
trip from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to Tel Aviv, Israel, is believed to be the first
direct flight between the two countries, which do not have diplomatic relations.

May 22: The fight against terrorism is a
"battle between good and evil," not a fight between "different faiths, different
sects, or different civilizations," President Trump said Sunday in a
widely-anticipated speech in Saudi Arabia.
This is Trump's first foreign
trip as president, and he delivered the address to leaders of dozens of Arab
and Muslim-majority nations. The Saudis said at least 37 leaders are present ...

May 22: Trump refrained from criticizing
human rights in Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries, long a source of
international concern. "We are not here to lecture," he said. "We are not here
to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be, or how to worship." ...
President Obama had at times
raised human rights issues in his trips to Saudi Arabia and meetings with
Saudi officials, though
not always. The nonprofit Freedom House, which tracks human rights
worldwide, classified Saudi Arabia as one of the 11 "worst
of the worst" countries in "political rights and civil liberties."

May 25: President
Donald Trump appeared to muscle past — or shove — Montenegro Prime Minister Duško
Markovic at a public appearance during the NATO summit in Brussels on Thursday.
A

pushing his way forward, and only after that did Markovic hang back and give
Trump his desired position].

June 1: After much anticipation, President
Trump has decided to postpone his campaign promise to move the U.S. Embassy in
Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He signed a waiver Thursday to keep the
embassy in Tel Aviv for the time being.

June 6: Trump: "During my recent trip to the Middle
East I stated that there can no longer be funding of Radical Ideology. Leaders
pointed to Qatar - look," he tweeted.
The tweet could pose difficulties for the US in explaining why it remains in
Qatar, host to the one of the Pentagon's largest military bases in the Middle
East and a linchpin in the campaign against ISIS. For that reason, the
President's 140 character blast may raise concerns within the Defense
Department.

Chancellor
Angela Merkel clinched an historic fourth term in Germany's election on Sunday,
but her victory was clouded by the hard-Right AfD party winning its first seats

Merkel, who after 12 years in power held a double-digit lead for most of the
campaign, scored around 32.9 per cent of the vote with her conservative
Christian Union (CDU/CSU) bloc.
Its nearest rivals, the Social Democrats (SPD) and their candidate Martin
Schulz, came in a distant second, with a post-war record low 20.8 per cent.

an increasingly bullish China and perceptions that US power has ebbed in the

including
Robert Mueller's special counsel probe, his low
approval ratings, and his failure so far to enact major legislation.

President Trump reportedly referred to Haiti and countries in Africa as

The meeting was intended to hammer out an immigration deal that would extend

money for border security and reforms to some immigration programs.

people, has no such problems.
Following Trump’s comments referring mainly to Haiti and African countries as “shithole
countries,” Botswana’s government has asked the US ambassador to the country
to “clarify” if it’s one of those Trump considers a shithole country. It has
also described the comments as “irresponsible, reprehensible and racist.”

Lofven has lost a confidence vote, effectively forcing him out of his post and
plunging Sweden's politics into uncertainty.
National elections earlier this month resulted in a hung parliament after a
far-right party made significant gains. Now, the parliament's speaker will tap
another leader to try to form a government, but the shape of any future alliance
is far from clear.
Lofven, who heads the center-left Social Democrats, has been prime minister in
Sweden since 2014. Two hundred four parliamentarians voted against him, 142
voted for him, and three abstained.
There are a number of political parties jockeying for power in Sweden.

November 26: President Donald Trump may not
see Congress as a threat to his foreign policy agenda, even as Democrats prepare

But Rep. Eliot Engel,

oversight plan for January, when he is likely to take the gavel of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee.
First on his priority list: getting Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at his
witness table after Trump's chief diplomat
"snubbed" the panel this year. Next up: a wide-ranging examination of
Trump’s ties to Russia and an investigation into how the president’s business
interests have intersected with his foreign policy decisions, among other
matters.
The Trump administration has shown that it will “do the minimum possible to
interact with Congress” and that it sees the State Department “as the enemy,”
Engel told USA TODAY in an interview previewing his plans for next year. “I’m
not going to accept that.”

December 17:
At the turn of the 18th century, a newly elected
president of the United States—only the second in the nation’s then-brief
history—cautioned the American people about “the danger to our liberties if
anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair,
virtuous, and independent elections.” In particular, John Adams pointed to
threats from abroad, warning that if a changed election outcome “can be obtained
by foreign nations by flattery or menaces, by fraud or violence, by terror,
intrigue, or venality, the Government may not be the choice of the American
people, but of foreign nations. It may be foreign nations who govern us, and not
we, the people, who govern ourselves.” Speaking before a joint session of
Congress, he thus pleaded with the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives
to “[preserve] our Constitution from its natural enemies,” including “the
profligacy of corruption, and the pestilence of foreign influence, which is the
angel of destruction to elective governments.”
The threat of foreign influence over our elections did not wane in the
intervening 220 years: Today, the United States has a president whose election
was aided by the fraud and intrigue of a foreign nation. Americans who watched
how President Donald Trump, in the words of the late Sen. John McCain, “abased
himself … abjectly before a tyrant” in Helsinki, cannot be faulted for wondering
whether John Adams’s long-ago warning has become a reality.

May 26:
The
President of the United States is erratic, illiterate, and doesn’t want to
know what he doesn’t know. The President has alienated former allies, befriended
or courted murderous dictators, and has repeatedly brought the country to the
brink of nuclear confrontation. The President lies constantly, knows that he is
lying, and demands that Administration officials lie for him, and often they do.
The President has waged war on the institutions of government, overseeing the
gutting of the State Department and the destruction of other federal agencies by
their own leaders, and effectively shut off media access to the Pentagon, the
State Department, and the White House. The President has acted to thwart
oversight of the Administration by other branches of government. The President
has never made a secret of despising the government itself: he has called it a
“swamp” and gleefully shut it down for thirty-five days, during a temper
tantrum. The President has not only failed to divest himself of his businesses
but has installed his children in and near the White House, openly using his
office for personal financial gain. The President has debased political culture
and language, using his bully pulpit to spew lies, hate, and personal insults
