Trump's Foreign Policy Record
President Donald Trump has received praise for brokering a Gaza ceasefire, despite the likelihood of Israel resuming its attack.
However, Trump's foreign policy record is only commendable when compared to his predecessors, who had disastrous policies.
he could have achieved a similar result nine months and thousands of Palestinian lives ago had he threatened to cut off U.S. arms to Israel if it refused to make a deal.
