Many of the presidents and prime ministers who have had the most successful foreign policies had no prior experience in foreign affairs when they assumed office. ββββββββ ββββββββ βββ βββββββββ ββ βββ ββββββββββ βββββ ββββββ ββ βββββββββββββ βββββββ βββββ ββββ ββ βββββ ββββββββββ ββββββ ββββ ββ βββββ βββββββββ ββββββ β βββββββββββ ββββββββββββ βββ β ββββββ βββββββββ βββββββ ββ ββββββ βββ ββββββ βββββββββββ βββ βββββββ βββββ ββ βββββββ β ββββββββββ βββββββ βββββββ ββ βββββ βββββ ββββββββββ βββββ ββββ ββ ββ ββββββ βββββ ββ β βββββββ βββββββββββ βββ βββββ βββ βββββ ββ βββββ βββββββ
Political leaders can succeed in foreign policy without prior experience in foreign affairs. How? Because anyone with (1) an acute political sense, (2) a disciplined temperament, and (3) a highly developed ability to retain information quickly can succeed in foreign policy. What about prior experience? Well, that alone will not guarantee success in foreign policy if one lacks all three of those traits.
