Trump's policies on Iran, North Korea and Russia are cleaning up messes left by Obama, Bush and Clinton

With respect to Iran, China, North Korea and even Russia, Trump is taking tough stances.

Donald J. Trump November 12, 2017 Trump likely cannot succeed in disarming Kim of his weapons by disarming him personally.

U.S. policy toward Iran has also been altered under Trump.

Trump has decided a nuclear Iran is not acceptable - neither now nor 12 years from now.

Trump has reasoned the time to get tough with Iran is now, not in a dozen years when they are stronger and have perfected technologies related to nuclear weapons.

In key ways, the White House has been strengthening U.S. posture toward Russia - even if Trump seems to be buddying up to Putin.

The Brookings Institution noted this, asserting, "The Trump administration's policy actions often seem at odds with the president's rhetoric," and listing a series of Trump policy actions toward Russia.
