Only 4% of the American electorate said foreign policy was the most important issue to them in the election.

Yet, extraordinarily, Trump ’s campaign left few clues as to how he would conduct foreign policy.

How Trump intervenes in the world now is a matter of debate within his circle of foreign policy specialists.

The first test of this transactionalism will come with Ukraine , says Vance .

Vance says Russia would get a “guarantee of neutrality” from Ukraine .

Russia would retain the land they have taken and a demilitarised zone would be established along the current battle lines.

The sense that China is the pre-eminent strategic threat shines through the thinking of the entire Trump policy circle, many of whom advocate the complete decoupling of the two economies.

Beijing may have drawn comfort from Trump ’s recent proclamation that “ Taiwan does n’t give us anything” But Beijing knows that is not a green light.
