What happens when America First meets China First?  Xi has
been assiduously cultivating allies.      Trump has been
equally diligent in driving allies away.

There are 318 NOMINEES.       Trump was nominated for

"creating new dynamics in other protracted conflicts, such
as the Kashmir border dispute between India and Pakistan"
