Part 6/9:
One of the primary difficulties lies within the Trump administration's failure to articulate its strategy clearly. Information exists, such as Velez-Green's work, but presenting this to a broader audience has proven complex. The administration has struggled to maintain a cohesive narrative amidst frequent personnel changes and public misunderstandings.
2. Internal Divisions
Another challenge stems from divergent ideologies within the Trump administration itself—where factions appear at odds regarding America’s foreign engagement. The America First ideology, often interpreted in isolationist terms, clashes with the doctrine's push for a proactive stance in Asia. This disconnect hinders the administration's capability to pursue coherent foreign policy actively.
