U.S. President Trump entered office in his first term vowing to end to "forever wars" in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

Despite saying he is a "President of Peace" Trump has ordered military strikes in Yemen, Syria, Nigeria, and Venezuela. And as he marks his one-year anniversary, he is threatening to take over Greenland- part of Denmark, a key NATO ally.

CGTN’s Diane Hodges has this look back on Trump’s international actions in his first year back in office.
