Why Donald Trump is a globalist, normalizing relations with Syria

Mr Trump is appalled by lives lost in war, seeing many conflicts as simply incomprehensible.

The president and his inner circle do subscribe to a global value system. That universal value is money. 

Mr Trump is a globalist of a particular kind. He has no illusions about the brotherhood of man. Instead, he trusts in the solidarity that binds powerful individuals in a position to enrich themselves and one another.

President Donald Trump said the US would explore normalizing relations with Syria after the toppling of longtime autocrat Bashar al-Assad, adding to a pledge to lift sanctions against the country’s new government.

Strengthening ties with Syria’s Islamist-led administration “gives them a good, strong chance” to recover after more than a decade of war that devastated the economy and triggered one of the world’s worst humanitarian and refugee crises, Trump said Wednesday in Riyadh.
