Trump’s critics said he would abandon the world. Instead he’s made it safer

Mitchell Reiss, a former head of policy planning at the US State Department and now a fellow of the Royal United Services Institute in London, gives Trump credit for his peace-making instincts. "There are things that he has done around the world which, in spite of his boasting, have been helpful," says Reiss. "He is not a warmonger, far from it, and he uses military force only reluctantly, unlike some previous presidents."
