Trump’s foreign policy is part nationalist, part conservative, part isolationist, part militaristic pageantry. For the president’s supporters, that foreign policy is notable as much for what it opposes as it is for its own stances. Trump’s meeting in Hanoi last week with Kim was the capstone of his most significant foreign policy undertaking and his signature reliance on personal dealmaking over traditional diplomacy. At right-wing think tanks and in the community of foreign Republican officials, hearty echoes of Trump are scarce. GOP anxiety over Trump’s behavior annoys hawkish Johns Hopkins University foreign policy scholar Eliot Cohen, an adviser to Condoleezza Rice during the George W. Bush administration and a fierce Trump critic.
