Opinion: For decades, a major strategic goal of rivals like Russia and China has been to divide the U.S. from its allies. Trump shouldn't help them do it.
President Trump’s foreign policy has been better than it sounds, but sometimes the sound does damage on its own. An example is his latest demand that allies pay the full cost of American overseas troop deployments, plus 50%.
Trump Administration officials privately say the President is simply in deal-making mode: His demand is meant to get everyone’s attention and provide room to negotiate better terms. But an alliance isn’t a Manhattan real-estate deal.Some 400 U.S. troops will remain in parts of Syria to prevent the return of Islamic State, and reassure allies that America isn’t abandoning the region to Iran, Russia and Sunni jihadists.
