**When leadership changes in any nation, I’ve never really seen the core policies change. Minuscule domestic changes, perhaps, changes in rhetoric, but nothing internationally or globally**. **This is true in the US & Canada. Most European nations, save for a very few, seem to have this same inertia or indifference, maybe even avoidance of change? Not sure exactly which word/s describe the extreme status quo maintenance. Israel looks to be suffering this same fate. The world is changing. That’s clear. I believe Trump will continue to resist that change**.

**Some of the names being bandied about certainly indicate the intent to stay the global empire course.**

> **The first clues about Trump’s policy will be the appointments he makes to senior national security positions.”**
> 
> It’s not out of the question that some veterans of Trump’s first time in office could return to serve in different posts, including Mike Pompeo, who served as secretary of state; Keith Kellogg, who acted as National Security Adviser to Vice President Mike Pence; or Richard Grenell, Trump’s ambassador to Germany who later served as acting director of national intelligence.

> **`Brian Hook,` a top State Department official during the first Trump administration, is expected to lead Trump’s transition team at the State Department, according to three sources familiar with the matter.**

> CNN reported that Brian Hook, a top State Department official during the first Trump administration, is “expected to lead Trump’s transition team at the State Department, according to three sources familiar with the matter”.
> 
> **Politico also reported that the former Iran man is now “overseeing plans for state**”, drawing on his experience under the first administration.
> 
> **Known for his hawkish approach to Iran, he is “set to lead the transition for America’s diplomats”,** according to The Guardian.
> 
> **He left office in 2020, signaling the collapse of any diplomatic success with Iran, having held hopes that nuclear issues could be resolved, in spite of Trump’s departure from the JCPOA.**
> 
> **He was at the heart of Trump’s heavy sanctions** and was blamed in turn for the collapse of the Iranian economy and the government’s finances as Trump tried to squeeze Iran into submission.
