My Final Word: Appeasing Donald Trump is not foreign policy
The New Zealand Government’s response to Donald Trump’s return to political relevance exposes a dangerous weakness in its foreign policy posture. As Trump drifts further into authoritarian spectacle — from war profiteering to open contempt for democracy — political leaders who appease him are not practising diplomacy. They are abandoning principle.

This week, Martyn slams the New Zealand Government’s sycophantic grovelling to Donald Trump as the former U.S. President spirals deeper into authoritarianism.
