  • Trump promised 'all hell will break out' in the Middle East if Israeli hostages are not returned by the time he takes office.

The article from MSN discusses three key foreign policy takeaways from former President Donald Trump's recent comments and actions. Firstly, Trump has suggested that he would not defend NATO allies who fail to meet their defense spending commitments, potentially weakening the alliance's collective defense principle. This stance could embolden adversaries like Russia. Secondly, Trump's approach to the ongoing war in Ukraine remains ambiguous; he has both criticized the conflict and hinted at negotiating a deal with Russia, which could involve territorial concessions. Lastly, Trump's comments on China and Taiwan indicate a transactional approach to foreign policy, where he might leverage U.S. support for Taiwan in negotiations with China, possibly affecting the stability of the region. These points highlight Trump's preference for bilateral deals over multilateral commitments and his tendency to use foreign policy as leverage in negotiations.
