Donald Trump’s personality and style – brash, unpredictable, contradictory and thin-skinned – promises to have a meaningful impact on his engagement as US President in foreign affairs. While there is great uncertainty about America’s foreign policy after 20 January 2017, the environment in which Donald Trump takes office as US President is more concrete. This provides some boundaries to his policy options. As was the case for his predecessors, Trump will face domestic as well as international constraints, from the role of Congress to the actions of other states. He will face the additional challenge that his character and operating style might not easily translate from the private sector into government. This report consists principally of 10 chapters that address the most significant axes of foreign policy for the new administration: defence, economic policy, trade, energy and climate change, the Middle East and North Africa, Europe, Afghanistan and Latin America. It considers the international context for each of these policy areas, outlines the specific constraints under which Trump’s administration will operate, and hypothesizes the likely paths that the administration will take. [Donald Trump became President of the United States on the 20 January 2017]. |
