If Obama’s ”pivot to Asia” policy is no more, what will be the US’s new security stance in this part of the world? What exactly is Washington’s position on “North Korea: Peaceful pressure” (A new term from Tillerson) or “The time for talk is over” (as stated by the US Ambassador to the UN)? But Trump has pinned much of his strategy for halting Pyongyang’s advances on China pressuring the Kim regime. On trade and investment, it would be very interesting to find out just where Tillerson stands on free trade and trade protectionism. Tillerson has said “America First is not America alone.”How can we help to make America great again while we don’t get trampled in the process?
