Trump is in danger of repeating Bush's Middle East mistakes
Matthew Duss, a former foreign policy adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), is executive vice president of the Center for International Policy. Sohrab Ahmari is the U.S. editor of UnHerd. In 2016, Donald Trump vaulted past his opponents in the Republican primary — and past former secretary of state Hillary Clinton — while lambasting America's post-9/11 wars as a 'disaster.' In 2020, Joe Biden placed opposition to Mideast forever wars at the center of his appeal and won over a national majority to be elected president. And last year's triumphant Trump campaign doubled down on these themes, with the GOP platform pledging to 'prevent World War III.'

US policy shifts on Syria, Yemen, Iran
The US-Israeli plan to get humanitarian aid into Gaza, amid the use of starvation as a weapon of war, enables Israel to 'force the ethnic cleansing of a huge part of Gaza's population', argues Matt Duss, the executive vice president of the Center for International Policy. United States President Donald Trump visited the Middle East, which saw a shift in US policy on Yemen, Iran, and Syria. Duss tells host Steve Clemons that the Democratic Party would be wise to learn from Trump's foreign policy. 'The Democrats have completely left the antiwar, pro-diplomacy, pro-peace lane open for Donald Trump to fill,' he says.
