- redis_mlc 6y agoTrump is well-respected internationally, and will be remembered as having the best foreign policy since the Marshall Plan in 1948. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan A lot of what Trump and Pompeo had to overcome was the treaty abandonment that peaked under Obama.
