Trump's foreign policy still undefined after first hundred days in office
Campaign rhetoric will probably be watered down though there may well be big policy shifts.

PRESIDENT Donald Trump commemorated his first 100 days in office at the weekend. Continuing a frenzied first three months of foreign policy, the US president this week has multiple meetings with key world leaders, including Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Thursday.
After 100 days in office, the nature of Mr Trump's foreign policy remains largely undefined. Indeed, his period in office so far has been much clearer for his reversing of previous campaign rhetoric and pledges than fulfilling them.
He promised "a new foreign policy direction" in what was seen, in some quarters, as perhaps the biggest potential shake-up since 1945. To be sure, it is already clear that the new administration will challenge some key elements of post-war orthodoxy pursued, in different ways, by Democratic and Republican presidents.
