Donald Trump's flawed foreign policy

President Trump's ban on immigrants from seven major Muslim countries, his threat to come out of NAFTA, cut down US subscription to the UN Fund and NATO, and the US withdrawal from the TPP agreement speak volumes about his misconceptions over US' longstanding foreign policies. 

They are bound to have negative impacts on global politics and will prove detrimental to US interest in the long run.

However, it is heartening to to see the global protest against these decisions. The US cannot live an isolated life in the name of "America first." The President must understand the ground realities and act accordingly before it is too late.
