Analysis-Midterms upended Congress but Trump still commands foreign policy
Verified: 3 outlets in 3 countries have reported this story since Nov 5.
By Matt Spetalnick WASHINGTON, Nov 5 (Reuters) - The Republican Party's staggering losses at the ballot box this week have left President Donald Trump diminished in Washington and facing tougher legislative oversight and scrutiny of his agenda. But on foreign policy, he could remain unbowed. Even as Democratic lawmakers seek to rein in the Republican president when they take control of Congress, Trump will retain broad latitude to pursue his objectives on the world stage, from Iran and Israel to Ukraine and China, during his final two years in office.
