The Trump administration’s foreign policy, rooted in the “America First” doctrine, has disrupted regional conflict resolution efforts and undermined cooperation among Middle Eastern countries.

Automakers would raise prices by double-digit percentages if they could – but there doesn’t appear to be enough demand. And given the importance of car sales to the…
