“Any honest assessment shows the administration has not articulated a coherent foreign policy that will lead to sanctions success. Nothing could more undermine the forming of an effective sanctions coalition than a tariff and trade war that attacks friends and sends contradictory signals to foes. Most damaging is the deprecating diplomatic behavior of President Trump toward allies and then imposing secondary sanctions that follow tariffs on their companies. Moreover, the allies reject categorically the U.S. withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal as the basis for new sanctions and believe that the demands are not best realized by sanctions.”
