(Reuters)Any illusions that President Trump will run a dovish, noninterventionist foreign policy are rather quickly being dashed. Theodore Roosevelt's foreign policy was famously to "speak softly and carry a big stick" — i.e. Trump's is to carry that big stick but also speak very freely about wielding it. And North Korea is already threatening to strike back, citing Trump's “reckless” aggression. But in the context of the big talk, big actions and big promises of action coming from the Trump White House, it's not that far afield of the picture we're getting of the Trump foreign policy.
