But Michael O'Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, told Xinhua that it is too early to draw conclusion that Trump has a tougher foreign policy.
Trump dropped one big bomb in Afghanistan, the explosive yield of which is similar to what the U.S. drops every day, cumulatively, in these wars, if not less than the daily average, O'Hanlon said.
"There is no perceptible effect yet of any of his uses of force on the conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan or the crisis in Korea, beyond trends that were already underway during the Obama years," O'Hanlon said.
He noted that Obama killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and used drone strikes to an uNPRecedented degree in killing terrorists around the world.
Trump is hoping that world leaders perceive "a sense of muscularity and uNPRedictability," but "we shall see," O'Hanlon said.
Many are worried about further escalation of the tensions on the Korean Peninsula, as Trump has sent an aircraft carrier strike group to the region.
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, speaking Tuesday in Tokyo, Japan, warned again that "all options are on the table" in order to "achieve our shared goal of a nuclear free Korean peninsula," though dialogue is still the best way to go forward.
