any proper foreign policy decision would always place the American people first. “My goal is to establish a foreign
policy that will endure for several generations, centered on prioritizing America first,” said Trump. “Under a Trump administration,
they will never again feel that their needs come second to the citizens of foreign countries.” Meanwhile, others in his admin-
istration have described the Trump doctrine in more pragmatic terms. After the successful June 22 Amer-
ican-led effort to dismantle Iran’s weapons programs, Vice President JD Vance, who has become a lead- ing voice on foreign policy within the administration, characterized the approach as a mix of assertive diplo- macy, the threat of force, and a greater empha- sis on avoiding getting caught in “forever wars.” “What I call the Trump doctrine is quite
simple: No. 1, you articulate a clear American interest, and that’s, in this case, that Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon,” Vance told donors at a Republican Party dinner in Ohio. “No. 2, you try to aggressively, diplomati-
cally solve that problem. “And No. 3, when you can’t solve it diplomat-
ically, you use overwhelming military power to solve it, and then you get the hell out of there before it ever becomes a protracted conflict.” Still, others see Trump’s foreign policy as
more refined, blending his own unique style with tactics from a successful predecessor. Historian and author Craig Shirley notes
that Trump’s strategy largely mirrors that of another Republican pioneer — former Presi- dent Ronald Reagan. “Trump, and the Trump doctrine, are act-
ing on many of the same ideals that Reagan brought to the party in 1980,” said Shirley. “Reagan gave the Republican Party a strong
set of values centered on a strong national de- fense and a deeply held belief in individual freedom — all of those ideas and values we can currently see being demonstrated today under
PRAGMATIC POLICY Vice
President JD Vance, a leading voice on foreign policy within the administration, met in Rome with a close U.S. ally, Italy’s conservative Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Vance says Trump’s global doctrine is a mix of assertive diplomacy, the threat of force, and a greater emphasis on avoiding getting caught in “forever wars.”
