(Olivier Douliery/European Pressphoto Agency)Washington loves to identify a new foreign policy trend. As I noted last week, it’s far from clear that Trump’s more conventional foreign policy path will be either wise or permanent in nature. Still, experience is a plus, and this administration has been sorely lacking it across most of the foreign policy arena. And it is interesting to note the contrast between the diligence of the foreign policy Cabinet and the lack thereof among Trump’s White House staff. The supposedly moderate, competent parts of the White House staff do not know nearly enough about foreign policy to properly take the lead on anything.
