U.S. National Security Adviser: President Trump Is Challenging Failed Policies of the Past
(Reuters) Matt Spetalnick - U.S. National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster told an Israel Independence Day celebration in Washington on Tuesday that President Trump "does not have time to debate over doctrine" and instead seeks to challenge failed policies of the past with a businessman's results-oriented approach. "The president is not a super-patient man," McMaster said. "Some people have described him as disruptive. They're right. And this is good - good because we can no longer afford to invest in policies that do not advance the interests and values of the United States and our allies." McMaster said "arduous circumstances," including Islamic State militancy and a growing regional threat from Iran, "may allow us to resolve what some have regarded as intractable problems, problems like disputes between Israel and the Palestinians....President Trump has taken a typically unconventional and fresh approach to this problem."
