Summary
President Joe Biden's approach to the Middle East will likely be far different from that of former president Donald Trump. But should it be? For some, the Trump legacy was the right approach: a transactional style that resulted in a host of political and diplomatic victories, including normalizing relations between Israel and several Arab nations. It was also selectively aggressive when it came to the death of the leader of the Islamic State and sanctions against Iran that, some argue, blunted Iran's ambitions and reduced its power in the region. But others, including many key members of the Biden administration, see the last four years as a failure of strategy and leadership. Trump's personalized approach to the Middle East, they argue, eroded America's moral agency and gave cover to authoritarian leaders. To them, Trump's stance on Iran emboldened hardliners, while its staunch support for Israeli interests isolated U.S. allies and undermined the Palestinians. Did America get the Middle East right under President Trump?
