Standing up to Donald Trump

Since returning to the Oval Office in January of last year, US President Donald Trump has changed global diplomacy, placing himself at the centre of international relations. Countries manoeuvred to stay in Mr. Trump’s good books and avoid becoming targets of his ire. However, Mr. Trump’s success may be running out of steam with America’s European and Asian allies refusing to heed the president’s call to help secure shipping through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
