Obama's Sprint Will Now Become a Slog

If the President of the United States behaves primarily as the chief negotiator for corporate America, then alliances themselves become contingent commodities.

The question Trump faces in Beijing will no longer be “whether he can strike a deal,” but rather, “what will he give up to get one.”

And as great as the burden on Trump's shoulders is, so too is the difficulty of predicting his moves.

Who will hold out longer, Iran under a naval blockade or the world economy without 20% of its oil and gas supply?

The agreements are not the EU’s problem; it is the lack of political will in its capital cities.
