President Trump's personality-driven brand of diplomacy has marked a departure from previous policy. Rather than seek stability with foreign allies and develop existing relationships, he has opted for brokering agreements and making high-profile announcements. His administration have cited the withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Agreement and the peace deal it brokered between Israel, Bahrain and the UAE as successes - but what will be long term impact of these agreements?

Dr Leslie Vinjamuri, Director of the US and Americas programme at Chatham House, reviews his style of diplomacy and the effect this has had on US foreign policy.

"There's a degree of uncertainty, unpredictability, chaos, there's a lot of rapid change because things are made by the executive, by the president in a very small circle of people, but they're not really owned across all parts of the government."
