Watching the Trump administration's trade policy, I keep thinking of the Curious George stories. George creates enormous chaos in processes that he doesn't understand but then figures out how to undo some of the damage done and ends up receiving general acclaim.

Court in a Storm: Israel, the ICC, and the Trump Administration
Washington is considering how to punish the international court for its charges against Israeli leaders. There’s a narrow path to an outcome that’s good for all parties.
"[T]he ICC’s problem is architectural: The court has jurisdiction that is unmanageably broad. There remains a narrow but viable pathway toward an approach that both addresses U.S. concerns and yields a more effective form of international justice," writes David Bosco.

I would not be surprised if Israel outright annexes much of the West Bank during Trump's term.
