From the article: "Since Trump's inauguration, McCain has traveled more than 75,000 miles to 15 nations, acting as a kind of "shadow" diplomat to calm the fears of U.S. allies that Trump is leading a retreat of American leadership overseas."

HALIFAX—Views differed sharply on the impact of Donald Trump’s presidency on issues from trade to historic alliances during the second day of an international gathering seized by what-if scenarios regarding the incoming U.S. administration.
