President Trump’s warm conversation in late Ap

President Trump’s warm conversation in late April with Rodrigo Duterte, and his invitation to the Philippines president to visit the White House, have rightly aroused controversy and suggested that human rights policy may simply disappear. And his recent speech in Saudi Arabia, in which he promised an audience of mostly autocratic Arab leaders that “America will not seek to impose our way of life on others,” has further suggested that Trump is downgrading concern for human rights in favor of a narrower conception of U.S. interests.
