Dken is right, Trump is a puppet. So long as he can be managed they will keep him in place. The moment his weaknesses or frailties consume him JD is ready to step up, strings already firmly attached.
And that is exactly why international pressure to recognise Palestine is more than just diplomacy. It boosts the separation of the US from the rest of the world, a sparation already well underway with the new trade arrangements, new defence links, and increasingly strong policy differentiation. Something we should be exploring now that the US/NZ 'friendship' is so obviously deteriorating.
Indeed - & there's something about JD which I really do not like, not sure what but wouldn't be inclined to trust him as far as I could throw him.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
