Far-reaching diplomacyHardly a student of diplomacy before taking office, Trump is influencing the world in far-reaching ways for a new American president. And the top economic aide to Chinese President Xi Jinping is due in Washington next week as Trump continues to cause shockwaves on global trade. Over the past month, Trump has engaged in a marathon of diplomacy, including hosting his first state visit, for Macron, and welcoming a parade of other leaders to the White House. McMaster both successfully counseled Trump to remain in the Iran deal when they were on the job. It's an open question how the biggest diplomatic gamble of his presidency will turn out, but there's little question that Trump is driving the global discussion.
