President Trump is increasingly turning to military leaders for some of his toughest diplomatic assignments, sending top brass to help negotiate the end of the Russia-Ukraine war, a potential new nuclear deal with Iran and forge closer ties with countries in the Western Hemisphere.
Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, an Iraq War veteran and ally of Vice President Vance, has become a key negotiator as the U.S. seeks to broker peace with Russia. Adm. Brad Cooper, the commander of the U.S. Central Command (Centcom), joined talks in Oman last week for the first round of nuclear negotiations with Iranian officials. And Gen. Dan Caine, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, traveled to Puerto Rico and Trinidad and Tobago in lead-up to the U.S. forces’ raid on Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
“Normally, people who work in diplomacy work in diplomacy a long time because it requires a certain amount of skill, tact, patience,” Larry Haas, a senior fellow for U.S. foreign policy at the American Foreign Policy Council, said Tuesday in an interview with The Hill.
