On 16 December 2025, I spoke with Afshin Rattansi on his podcast “Going Underground.” We discussed President Trump’s foreign policy performance over the course of 2025. I made clear that I believe there are few successes and many failures. His first year in office has hardly been an auspicious start and there is little reason to think things will change in 2026, which looks like it is going to be another bleak year on the foreign-policy front.
Trump's Foreign Policy in 2025
John, thx for providing a link to your interview. I’m so sick of getting fake AI videos of you.
Trump’s foreign policy is better than his domestic policy. He’s one of the few American politicians who respect Russia and Putin.
