For an administration that aspires to an America First foreign policy, moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem puts America`s interests last, not at the head of the line. Rarely, though, has an incoming administration seemed so serious about acting on its campaign pledge. He has nominated an ambassador who already has personally endorsed the move -- and written into the statement announcing his appointment that he was looking forward to representing the US from a Jerusalem embassy. The Trump administration`s motives for raising the controversial Jerusalem issue now are varied.

U.S. President Donald Trump`s approach to trade issues could trigger retaliation in other countries and harm global economic growth, European Central Bank policy maker Ignazio Visco said on Saturday. "The U.S. administration`s declared intention of slowing down or reversing trade liberalization processes, and the steps it has already taken in this direction, risk triggering tit-for-tat measures in other countries, with negative repercussions for world growth," Visco, who sits on the ECB Governing Council, told a financial conference.

Media caption Could US overseas abortion funding ban lead to more deaths in Africa? Donald Trump`s pro-abortion funding ban has infuriated many global health organisations as they say it will unintentionally lead to more abortions and more deaths in Africa.

Known as the "Mexico City Policy", or global gag rule by critics, it was no surprise that he reinstated it.

U.S. trade policy towards China has been upended with the arrival of the Trump administration, and Boeing jetliner deliveries are widely viewed as vulnerable if China retaliates.

Boeing`s chief executive has reiterated the company`s plan to open a facility in China to install the interiors on single-aisle 737 jetliners. ""We`re able to add volume and increase sales in China, because as we increase sales to China we increase building airplanes here in the U.S., and that`s U.S. manufacturing jobs," he said. Boeing leaders are concerned a significant shift in trade policy toward China could have catastrophic effects on the company`s plans to sustain and increase production of its lucrative 737 planes.
