Minimal shift. TPS ruling could strain U.S. humanitarian credibility with Haiti and complicate Syria policy coordination with allies. Comey case is primarily domestic political theater with no direct international implications.
Similar to past U.S. immigration policy reversals that created diplomatic friction with source countries, though TPS is administrative rather than treaty-based.
