    The big issue for me is that it’s like dealing with a completely different country every four or eight years. How can you enter into an agreement with the US and rely on it sill being in place in 5 years?

      Previously, they would uphold agreements from a previous administration. Trump doesn’t even uphold agreements from his own previous administration. If you can’t trust agreements, you stop making them and use other forms of diplomacy, which are less diplomatic. China will be under big pressure of their growth stalls. USA will be under pressure of their growth stalls due to trump. Wars are a time honoured distraction.
