Scott Ritter: Trump adopting a fortress America approach
In an interview with Al Mayadeen, former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter talks about the seismic shift underway in American foreign policy under US President Donald Trump. Ritter explains that Trump is openly rejecting the core tenet of previous US administrations, the rules-based international order, labeling it a threat to American interests. Instead, Trump is adopting a "Fortress America" approach: retreating from Europe and the Middle East and pivoting toward a protectionist trade war with China.
