It’s a curious development. Trump’s instincts are generally almost isolationist in that he doesn’t see world peace as something to be paid for in American tax dollars. On the other hand he lashes out like a toddler when he feels personally slighted. I suspect on balance he has taken the embassy attack personally, rather than this being part of a strategy.
