THE START OF DONALD J. TRUMP’S SECOND TERM HAS BEEN UNPARALLELED. Swiftly ending the 12-day
Israel-Iran conflict after U.S.- backed strikes diminished Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, declaring a de facto peace. Successfully calling for an immediate ceasefire between India and Pakistan after the Kashmir strikes, with Pakistan later praising his intervention and nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Using trade leverage to stop
border conflicts between Thai- land and Cambodia. Negotiating a peace deal in
Africa between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to end decades of bloodshed. Easing tensions between
Egypt and Ethiopia over the Nile dam without a single shot being fired. Preventing a Serbia-Kosovo
crisis and helping to reach a historic Armenia-Azerbaijan agreement after 40 years of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict — with leaders from both sides praising Trump for the break- through. Facilitating increased fund-
ing for NATO by other nations after criticizing “delinquent” allies and threatening to cut U.S. protection for countries that do not comply. As a result, allies pledged
to raise contributions by 2035, with 29 of 31 nations meeting the targets, according to Secre-
tary of State Marco Rubio. However, despite Trump’s successes, historians still struggle to define the Trump doctrine. Attempts to pin down
Trump’s worldview, much like trying to categorize the enig- matic man himself, have left critics and supporters feeling whiplash with labels used to describe Trump’s approach to foreign policy ranging from isolationist to transactional, imperialist, and protectionist. During his first term, he told
The Wall Street Journal: “I’m a nationalist and a globalist.” In Trump’s 2016 speech at
the Center for the National In- terest, he stated his view that
Trump has lived up to his self-anointed “peacemaker- in-chief” title, playing a role in ending at least eight brutal conflicts since his inauguration in January.
