Trump: a wide gap between the candidate and president

Editorial published on November 24, 2016

Since he was elected on November 9, 2016, Donald Trump has already reconsidered some of his more polemical campaign promises (such as the renegotiation of the COP21 agreement, the construction of a wall at the Mexican border, the deportation of more than 11 million illegal migrants, the Obamacare cancelation, a court action against Hillary Clinton). These strategy changes were not expected by the electors of the “anti-establishment” outsider.

The choice of Stefen Bannon as his chief strategist (former president of Breitbart News, a nationalist website close to the Tea Party) and his first cabinet nominations are less surprising.

However, the international community can still wonder how Trump is going to treat foreign policy issues.
