How was the trip?

President Trump went from enthusiastic receptions in Saudi Arabia and Israel to chillier handshakes at the NATO summit in Brussels. Josh Barro asks Rich Lowry why more conservatives' heads aren't exploding at Trump's lack of support for NATO and Article 5. Katrina vanden Heuvel says the worst part of the trip is the Saudi arms sale. It was tragic timing as Trump aligns with corrupt dictatorships, she says. While he was out of the country, the White House released a budget full of deep cuts.
