Trump's antagonism risks pushing U.S. allies closer to China​

Trump has played hardball with Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Mexico and Panama — all countries that have traditionally been strong partners with the U.S.

WASHINGTON — If foreign leaders have learned anything about Donald Trump’s presidency, it may be that they’re better off as America’s foe than its friend.

So far, Trump has insulted Canada, played hardball with Denmark over the future of Greenland, cowed Colombia into repatriating undocumented immigrants on his terms and threatened to wrest from Panama the eponymous canal that is a source of great national pride.

Taking a tough stance with smaller, largely pro-American countries may seem a low-risk proposition for Trump. None wants to antagonize a superpower. Nor do any have nuclear missiles aimed at U.S. cities.

But there are risks to Trump's brand of diplomacy, national security analysts and former officials say. Nations may rethink their ties to the United States and embrace an eager suitor with billions to spend: China.

We are abandoning our allies just as we need them most. China and Russia are rejoicing.
 
Spreading constant war and chaos all around the globe for decades, and our constant lying, is pushing the people of the world closer to Russia and China....who by all appearances behave better.
