After a tumultuous four years marked by foreign policy missteps, President Donald J. Trump and his administration have purportedly made significant strides in reinstating safety and security both domestically and internationally, all under the banner of “Peace through Strength.”
It turns out, all we needed was a different president.
- In response to President Trump’s insistence, Mexico has pledged 10,000 troops to bolster security at our southern border, while Canada has dispatched 10,000 personnel to its northern frontier to mitigate illegal immigration and the influx of harmful fentanyl into the U.S.
- In a controversial move, President Trump designated notorious drug cartels and brutal transnational gangs as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. This has reportedly empowered law enforcement to make significant progress in apprehending and deporting these violent entities.
- Through diplomatic pressure, President Trump compelled nations like Colombia and Venezuela to accept repatriation flights for their nationals unlawfully residing in the U.S.
- His administration’s aggressive tactics have reportedly driven illegal border crossings to unprecedented lows — a staggering 95% decrease compared to last year.
- In a notable intelligence-sharing initiative, President Trump assisted the Pakistani government in the capture and extradition of the ISIS operative responsible for the deadly Abbey Gate bombing.
- Moreover, President Trump ramped up U.S. counterterrorism operations, resulting in the elimination of numerous high-profile terrorists, including a key ISIS strategist in Somalia.
- His administration has reinstated maximum pressure against Iran, aiming to curb its nuclear ambitions and its support for terrorism throughout the Middle East.
- President Trump also authorized strikes against Houthi militants, significantly disrupting their leadership and operational capabilities — vowing to continue this campaign “until they no longer threaten Freedom of Navigation.”
- As part of a broader strategy, Trump’s diplomatic maneuvering persuaded Panama to withdraw from China’s Belt and Road Initiative, a scheme often criticized for ensnaring developing nations in debt, thus marking a significant achievement in the U.S. effort to curb Chinese influence in the Western Hemisphere.
- Under President Trump’s leadership, the release of 39 U.S. citizens detained abroad has been secured — a stark contrast to the mere 80 releases during President Biden’s four years in office.
- In another diplomatic success, Trump brokered a temporary ceasefire in Gaza, successfully negotiating the release of hostages, including an American citizen — a feat that eluded Biden.
- Finally, for the first time in three years, President Trump has managed to bring both Ukraine and Russia to the negotiating table for substantive discussions aimed at a peaceful resolution, an initiative that is reportedly ongoing.
