  • Joe Biden is still president, but the world's leaders and its crises are knocking on Donald Trump's door. The contrast from last time is striking.

The article from USA Today discusses former President Donald Trump's foreign policy approach, particularly focusing on his views regarding conflicts in Syria and Ukraine. Trump has expressed a desire to reduce U.S. military involvement abroad, advocating for a policy of "America First." He has criticized the ongoing U.S. military presence in Syria, suggesting a withdrawal to avoid further entanglement in Middle Eastern conflicts. Regarding Ukraine, Trump has indicated he would push for a quick negotiation to end the war with Russia, potentially by recognizing Russian control over certain territories in exchange for peace. His approach has raised concerns among some foreign policy experts about the implications for U.S. allies and global stability, with critics arguing that his policies could embolden adversaries and weaken America's international standing. However, Trump's supporters believe his strategy would conserve resources and focus on domestic issues.
