It is axiomatic that foreign policy and treaties that are designed to further and to protect the interest of the United States in its relations with foreign nation states is the sole prerogative of the Executive Branch. Policy, tactics and strategies are set by the President in consultation with the Secretary of State , and his cabinet. Formal treaties must be ratified by the Senate. Foreign policy programs must be funded by the Congress. By this arrangement is balance of powers maintained. Nowhere is a private citizen who happens to be an ex president authorized or empowered to participate or interfere with the relations of the elected government to foreign nations. It is in fact illegal. Why the Justice Department does not use the power of the laws to control private citizen Trump is simply inexplicable.
