President Trump is delivering on his promise to forge a safer world, and at a record pace. In recent days, Trump has ended years of Houthi terrorist attacks on U.S. ships in the Red Sea, freed the last remaining American hostage from Hamas captivity in Gaza, and successfully mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan – a conflict that could’ve led to the outbreak of nuclear war.
The laundry list of Trump’s recent foreign policy wins does not end there. During his trip to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) this week, the president secured over $2 trillion in investment (more than double what Biden attracted in his entire four-year term), and inked major technological and military partnerships, including a defense cooperation agreement with Qatar and an AI acceleration agreement with the UAE.
“The Art of the Deal” was also on full display with regard to trade. The President, along with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, scored major trade victories, including an initial deal with China that reduces tariffs and secures concessions from Beijing. Also finalized was a trade deal with the United Kingdom that creates an additional $5 billion in export opportunities for U.S. farmers, ranchers, and producers, while simultaneously increasing US tariff revenues from the import of British goods. As a result, legacy media outlets and “Panicans” stoking fears of a recession have had to eat their words, with the S&P 500 rising roughly 15% since early April, erasing all “Liberation Day” losses.

Even Democrats – rarely inclined to compliment President Trump – have been singing his praises.
“Gosh, I wish I could work for an administration that could move that quickly,” one former Biden official told Axios this week.
“I’ve got to tell you, I think the president has, in this last week or so, played the Middle East pretty darn well,” Connecticut Democrat Rep. Jim Hines – who self-admittedly is “not in the habit of praising Donald Trump," said Thursday.
Looking forward, President Trump looks set to continue delivering victories for American national interests. On Tuesday, Trump lifted sanctions on Syria, giving the once-affluent nation a fresh start after decades of oppression and economic decline under dictator Bashar al-Assad. President Trump also met with Syria’s interim President al-Sharaa, marking the first meeting between the two nations’ leaders in a quarter of a century. Syria now seems poised to join the Abraham Accords and normalize relations with Israel, in what would represent a fundamental paradigm shift in the region.
Additionally, as President Trump promised during the 2024 campaign, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Friday that all NATO members will have agreed to spend 5% of GDP on defense by the 2025 NATO summit in June. For context, NATO member Luxembourg spent just 0.38% of its GDP on defense in 2016 – the year before Trump first took office.
Whereas it once seemed unlikely NATO members would ever uphold their 2% defense expenditure guideline, it now seems they will exceed the 3.4% defense expenditure of the U.S. itself.
The results are undeniable: President Trump’s bold, peace-through-strength foreign policy is a resounding success. By prioritizing American interests and projecting unwavering resolve, he’s forging a safer, more prosperous world order.
