The Senate Minority Whip leader mocked the Commander-in-Chief’s previous statements regarding his “toughness” with Russia. Durbin then accused Trump of “punishing” American allies and “groveling at the feet” of adversaries.
“Nobody has been tougher on Russia than Donald Trump” – President Trump, April 2018.

President Trump and Foreign Relations

This weekend’s G-7 summit has already engendered a significant drop of world stocks, as earlier reported by USA Herald. Political adversaries of Trump are furthermore questioning his decisions to increase tariffs on certain countries. Various American leaders appear concerned about the potential repercussions of the aforementioned tariffs.
Another trending matter in the world of foreign relations is President Trump’s forthcoming meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
