Mr. Trump failed his first major diplomatic test by releasing an inaccurate statement earlier today about the fall of Russian ally Syria, the origins of the war in Ukraine, its casualty numbers, and the current strength of Russia. Even small errors in public communication can fan the embers of global hostility and harm friendly relations between men who could easily negotiate a global peace.
American foreign policy must consider not only the condition of allied nations today but also the direction or trajectory in which they are moving. European leadership restricting freedom of speech and banning entry to peaceful activists cannot be dismissed as purely domestic when it affects American citizens and raises questions about the values on which the transatlantic alliance rests.
