Trump barks, but struggles to find his bite
By Jeremy Diamond, CNN
Updated 2131 GMT (0531 HKT) April 27, 2017
Washington (CNN) - President Donald Trump is all about the bark -- bold, aggressive promises.
Whether it's unfair Chinese trade practices, the North American Free Trade Agreement he's dubbed a "disaster" or Iran's destabilizing actions, Trump has kept up much of his bold campaign rhetoric.
But when it comes to follow through, at least in his first 100 days in office Trump has come up short on the bite, sometimes abruptly flipping his position when confronted with an opportunity to make good on his pledges.
After months of railing against NAFTA, some of Trump's top aides signaled Wednesday he might withdraw from the deal altogether in the coming days.
