MUNICH - Amid global anxiety about President Donald Trump's approach to global affairs, U.S. officials had a message to a gathering of Europe's foreign policy elite this weekend: pay no attention to the man tweeting behind the curtain. U.S. lawmakers - both Democrats and Republicans - and top national security officials in the Trump administration offered the same advice publicly and privately, often clashing with Trump's Twitter stream: the United States remains staunchly committed to its European allies, is furious with the Kremlin about election interference and isn't contemplating a preemptive strike on North Korea to halt its nuclear program.
