Biden Officials Awed by Trump’s Middle East Moves

“President Trump’s recent series of audacious foreign policy moves have astounded even some of his harshest critics,” Axios reports.

“Just in the Middle East and just in the past week, Trump has met with a leader the U.S. officially considers a terrorist, announced he’ll lift all sanctions on Syria, and cut a truce with the Houthis plus a hostage deal with Hamas, both of which excluded Israel.”

“Biden administration veterans who spoke with Axios raised questions about Trump’s motivations but grudgingly saluted his boldness.”

Said former Biden State Department official Ned Price: “He does all this, and it’s kind of silence, it’s met with a shrug. He has the ability to do things politically that previous presidents did not, because he has complete unquestioned authority over the Republican caucus.”
