Ignatius: Trump Is Heading into a Major International Crisis with N. Korea

EXCERPT:

IGNATIUS: "Joe, I think you put your finger on something important. Donald Trump, over the next two days, is heading into a major international crisis of how to deal with the North Korea that is now genuinely threatening the United States and its neighbors. He is a very unpopular president at home, maybe uniquely so among modern presidents. He is very unpopular with our traditional allies in Europe. I was with a group of Europeans last night who underlined just how unpopular his views on climate change, on trade, on major issues for Europeans are. That’s not a good position to be in at a moment where he needs to work creatively with partners and also with adversaries, with China and Russia, to solve this big, dangerous problem. We should all regret that he’s so unpopular in a moment when he needs to speak for the country clearly and firmly."
