DURING HISpresidential campaign, Donald Trump
posed as a slash-and-burn rebel in foreign as well as domestic policy. That
raised the prospect of a president ready to stop waging foreign wars, abandon
self-defeating fantasies of world domination, and concentrate on rebuilding
America. It remains unclear whether Trump will keep faith with the angry voters
who propelled him into office or forget his iconoclasm and sink into the
Washington swamp he promised to drain. In foreign policy, a key test is whether
he will be daring enough to reverse our course of confrontation with Russia and
Iran. So far, he seems ready to go halfway. He has offered a conciliatory hand
to Russia but no change in our 37-year policy of hostility to Iran. https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2016/11/23/trump-should-embrace-dual-conciliation-abroad/5iRuMZHABia78vUXYIVBLP/story.html
