Obama and Clinton Alumni Hindering Trump’s Foreign Policy

Obama and Clinton Alumni who are holdovers and continue to work in the Trump administration are actively working to stifle President Trump’s foreign policy.

According to The Daily Caller:

Obama-era Democrats are still influencing foreign affairs, now through jobs at the United Nations and at other international organizations where Americans can help shape international politics in ways at odds with the Trump administration.

Before and after the start of Donald Trump’s presidency, Obama- and Clinton-aligned politicos took the positions, which are not U.S. government jobs but generally are the result of lobbying by U.S. officials. Many are entitled to keep the jobs indefinitely once they are in them.

Tensions between the Trump administration and employees in the foreign service and international organizations — including some that serve at the pleasure of the president — have repeatedly come to the fore in recent weeks.

When President Donald Trump addressed the U.S. Mission to the United Nations on Sept. 26, “someone laughed loudly,” while others “spoke in hushed murmurs,” The Washington Post reported. (The mission consists of U.S. government employees interacting with the U.N., while some Americans also occupy jobs at the U.N. itself.)

A pro-Trump U.N. official said that the Americans at these non-governmental organizations wield significant influence and can affect U.S. foreign policy in contrast to Trump’s goals.
