The issue:
The current foreign policy landscape is challenged by America's perceived lack of presence and strength, following the Biden administration's approach. Many Americans feel a strong urge for a foreign policy that not only protects but also elevates U.S. interests and allies.
What they recommend:
Trump's administration emphasizes an assertive foreign policy that involves ending financial support for countries that do not contribute to their own defense. He advocates for significant shifts in NATO funding and a focus on bolstering American energy independence.
Go deeper:
Trump's strategy includes restoring deterrence against global adversaries like Russia, Iran, and China, which he sees as weakened by their own miscalculations. Additionally, major investments from allied nations, such as the anticipated $600 billion from Saudi Arabia, are designed to invigorate the U.S. economy and create mutual partnerships. Overall, Trump's vision reflects a departure from fiscal internationalism to a distinctly self-interested approach to global affairs.
