And then there was one. With the exception of Jim Mattis, the US defence secretary, Donald Trump has now cleared the decks of people who stand up to him. The ousting of Rex Tillerson, whose firing was announced on Twitter, eliminates the gap between Mr Trump’s anti-globalist instincts and the stance of America’s chief diplomat. Mike Pompeo, Mr Tillerson’s replacement, shares the president’s undiplomatic mindset. Mr Pompeo is a Trump enabler. Mr Trump’s America First foreign policy is now closer to becoming a reality.
現(xiàn)在剩下一個(gè)了。除了美國(guó)國(guó)防部長(zhǎng)吉姆?馬蒂斯(Jim Mattis)以外，唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)把敢于同他對(duì)抗的一批人都清除了。特朗普在Twitter上宣布解雇雷克斯?蒂勒森(Rex Tillerson)，消除了特朗普反全球主義本能與美國(guó)首席外交官立場(chǎng)之間的分歧。蒂勒森的接替者邁克?蓬佩奧(Mike Pompeo)與特朗普一樣毫無(wú)外交思維。蓬佩奧唯特朗普馬首是瞻。特朗普的“美國(guó)優(yōu)先”(America First)外交政策現(xiàn)在更接近成為現(xiàn)實(shí)。
