The Special Relationship, The US and France - Trump Era

Sky News: Reports " Donald Trump hailed the "great relationship" he has with French President Emmanuel Macron and insisted their friendship was "not fake news" as talks got under way in Washington.  "

Lets Get Real:

This development of a close relationship between the US and France will not go down well in London.   When the US has a troubling problem it is normally that the UK gets called, the idea that Paris would be the first call of a US President is a worry.  The Trump Oval wants the respect of other Countries, it should be noted that Trump has had a State visit to France, but not London so far, this is troubling.   The left wing media in the UK hates Trump, when POTUS does come to London there will be protests from the left, the UK Government can not shut down democratic protests, its part our democracy.   The French should be worried, they might get to close to the Sun, and then you are in free fall. 

Iran in the Frame - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump has warned Iran of "big problems" if it resumes the nuclear programme it agreed to curb in a 2015 international accord. "

Lets Get Real:

The Trump Oval might be making threats over Iran because its threat over North Korea lead to North Korea making concessions, they have suspended their nuclear plans, and Trump is expected to meet the leader of North Korea in a few months.  POTUS might think that because his threats worked over North Korea then Iran will fold.   Let's be clear, POTUS wants to undermine the Obama legacy, and the Iran deal is a major part of that legacy, either way he wants concessions from Tehran, it can be postulated that Europe will place pressure on Iran to give a few concessions that might keep the US from breaking the Iran deal, the Trump Oval wants to make sure that Tehran never goes nuclear, and stops its terror actions in the Middle East.   The question is will Tehran budge, or will the Regime take the risk that Trump is bluffing. It will be a mistake if Tehran thinks that POTUS is bluffing.
