Madeleine Herren and Glenda Sluga Publish Op-Ed on Trumps International Policy in The Washington Post
In an op-ed article in The Washington Post, Madeleine Herren-Oesch and Glenda Sluga comment on Donald Trump’s attitude towards international cooperation. In October, the President of the United States of America has declared that he regards the Universal Postal Union (UPU) as a harm to US-American interests.
Using this example, the two historians illustrate why, in doing so, the US is not just abandoning the UPU, but the idea behind it: conflict-solving within a loosely structured system of intergovernmental cooperation.
