There’s a great debate today about what America First foreign policy means or should mean—and what “no more forever wars” entails. Meanwhile, President Trump is showing a fluidity and flexibility in foreign policy in real time—all under the justifiable notion of keeping America and Americans safe.
He did this in backing Israel against the world’s worst terrorists who also had targeted and killed vast numbers of Americans, including attempts to kill President Trump, himself. He did this in taking out the nuclear capability of the leading state sponsor of such terrorism and threat. And he’s now putting pressure on the Fidel Castro of Latin America, Nicholas Maduro and his outlaw regime, which is also responsible for sending criminal gangs and illegal drugs into the United States.
The Monroe Doctrine is not dead, and neither should be the Roosevelt corollary. What should end is Hezbollah’s and China’s involvement in Venezuela and Maduro’s criminality. Donald Trump took an oath to protect and defend us. That’s America, and Americans, First.
