America’s New Friends

Peter Baker: “If the old saying is true, that you are known by who your friends are, then President Trump may be telling the world something about who he plans to be in this second term.”

“In a move that redrew the international order, Mr. Trump this week had the United States vote against a U.N. General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on the third anniversary of the war.”

“Among the countries that Mr. Trump joined in siding with Russia? North Korea, Belarus and Sudan.”

“Those he stood against? Britain, France, Germany, Canada, Italy, Japan and most of the rest of the world.”
