Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York said Tuesday that President Donald Trump needs to keep domestic politics in mind when engaging in foreign affairs, such as with Iran.

York said he believes it’s not up to the United States to help every nation that “cannot handle its own affairs,” but the U.S. bears some responsibility when “we’re the ones who blew up the previous situation.” He cited how the U.S. “beheaded” Venezuela’s leadership earlier this year, and the Trump administration does “have a plan” which seems to be working.
