Trump is briefed on an overseas national security issue, given some options to respond and his reply is “we’ll leave that for the next guy” since it was too close to inauguration day.
I can’t imagine Trump is popular with anyone outside of this stans.

He only didn’t support them because it failed. Otherwise he would have gone all the way.
