The failure of Trump\u2019s policy over the past four years is due to four key reasons. For a start, the choice of his son-in-law, Jared Kushner to spearhead the peace plan, is a debateable choice at best. Jared lacked both political and diplomatic experience and had a limited understanding of ground realities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second reason was the fact that, the American public was tired of long-standing conflicts, in far off places, waged for goals that were difficult to attain. The frequent policy flip-flop and an inability to back up words with strong and meaningful action, was the third reason for failure. While Trump used strong language against ISIS and Syria, he could not get Russia to reign in Syria. Instead, he used symbolic military strikes, with little to no tangible results on the ground. The Kurdish rebels were long-standing allies in the fight against ISIS, but were left to fend for themselves against Turkish incursions. Trump\u2019s inability to back his rhetoric with concrete action earned him the sobriquet of \u2018barking dogs seldom bite\u2019, among the Arab establishments in the region.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fourth and final reason was Trump\u2019s inability to build consensus within an Arab world deeply divided by long-standing religious and sectarian divisions. This, coupled with a clear pro-Israeli tilt, put paid to Trump\u2019s Middle East plan.\u00a0 At a recent meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Saudi Arabia, all 57 member countries voted to reject the U.S. peace plan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hope you found the clear information for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tutorsindia.com\/our-services\/coursework-writing\/critical-review\/\">Critical Review<\/a> on \u201c<strong>Trump and the Middle East<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump\u2019s Middle East policy was a clear departure from Obama\u2019s policy of limiting U.S. involvement, to protecting its interests in the region.
