Trump foreign policy

What would Trump's foreign policy look like based on what he has done in the past and what he is saying now. First to Ukraine. He will negotiate a peace agreement offering Crimea and the Donbas territories along with a promise of not allowing Ukraine to join NATO in return for Russia ending the war. This opens the door for Ukraine and Russia to both export grain which will lower world prices and keep some in Africa from starving. Russian exports of oil and gas will once again flow free along with badly needed minerals like iron and aluminum. Russia will be invited to join the west in free trade. The European Union countries will begin the process of rebuilding Ukraine. In Palestine the US will fully back Israel to defeat Hamas and then reopen the Abraham Accords to bring the Saudis into the picture. The Arab countries led by Saudi Arabia will provide the capital and Israel the construction expertise to begin the process of rebuilding Gaza. The US will agree to protect the Saudi oil fields from threats by Iran. In time the Palestinian people will choose new leadership and this will open the door to the long awaited two state solution. The US will re institute the sanctions on Iran until they end their support for Hezbollah and the Houthis The push to end globalization will continue to bring jobs home. There is no certainty in any of this but it is a realistic goal.
