Despite campaigning against endless foreign wars and a humanitarian-based foreign policy that promotes democracy, President [[Donald Trump]] appointed several internationalists and neoconservatives to his administration, including [[H.R. McMaster]], who removed conservatives from the [[National Security Council]].
