Donald Trump has already claimed a foreign policy victory with an advisor flying to Qatar and negotiating an Israel -Hamas ceasefire, sidelining Biden administration officials.

Here is a list of what might happen in Trump ’s first month in command of U.S. foreign policy.

Expect to see sanctions against Syria slow or end within the first month of his presidency.

During his first term, Trump had little foreign policy experience and was thwarted by his staff.

Trump will be far more experienced and far less constrained this time around, so he will be well-positioned to implement many of his priorities.

It’s unclear which of these issues will remain priorities for the impulsive president-elect.
