The Trump administration established peace in Russia, China, North Korea, the Balkans, and the Middle East, all areas experiencing tension or conflict today under the Biden administration. Ambassador Ric Grenell explains how the Trump administration did it and what a second Trump administration would do to fix it the Biden administration’s foreign policy disaster.
The Trump administration established peace by putting pressure on its NATO allies to finally carry their weight and contribute 2% of their GDP to NATO’s defense of their countries. They curbed Europe’s reliance on Russian energy and sanctioned the Nord stream pipeline. Now, NATO has gone soft and member dues are funding woke initiatives like climate change programs, and Russia is waging war on Ukraine. In the Middle East, Trump ended funding to terrorist groups and states, such as Iran, funding that the Biden administration resumed. Now, Israel is fighting for its life in an existential war with Iran-backed Hamas.
Tough diplomacy is the solution to the wars and aggression from our enemies. An assertive America leading the world from a position of economic and military strength worked to bring peace and prosperity in Trump’s first term, and it will work again in a second term. In Grenell’s words, “You better have an SOB diplomat if you want to avoid war.”
