Donald Trump’s America has just become a rogue nation

https://www.smh.com.au/world/middle-...09-p4zebu.html

Trump puts politics and his own political self-interest ahead of peace and security. The Iran deal has been opposed vociferously by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and he carries much of the US Republican party with him.

The deal is unpopular with Republican voters. Trump is catering to them in an effort to keep the support of his base and the support of the Republicans in Congress who are his ultimate protection against any possible impeachment.

there is zero consistency in Trump’s thinking on even the weightiest matters. So at the very time he is seeking a deal to constrain North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, he has exuberantly rejected one that is constraining Iran’s

Trump’s decision demonstrates that he doesn’t care about the interests of America’s allies. Indeed, “history may recall it as the day the US abandoned its belief in allies,”
