“#In a second term, Trump could build on his foreign-policy successes<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Democrats and their media<\/a> allies like to paint Donald Trump as a foreign-policy catastrophe. Even some conservatives have joined the angry chorus. Neocon stalwart Eliot Cohen, for example, has attacked Trump\u2019s policies as \u201cdeeply misguided\u201d and a strategic disaster.<\/p>\n

The critics couldn\u2019t be more wrong. The truth is, Trump has scored a series<\/a> of foreign-policy and national-security successes, based on key principles we can call the \u201cTrump Doctrine\u201d \u2014 an app<\/a>roach sharply different from that of Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush but still rooted in longstanding American traditions.<\/p>\n

First, the Trump Doctrine is about renewing American sovereignty. The president believes the primary actors in world affairs aren\u2019t international organizations like the United Nations but nation-states. Sovereign states are able to set the agenda because they control territory, population and borders. They pursue their interests by mobilizing their economic, political and military power. That applies to America as much to anyone else.<\/p>\n

Second, protecting that sovereignty has led Team Trump to withdraw from multilateral agreements that limit US freedom of action, including economic action, such as the Paris climate accords, or that place it at a disadvantage to competitors such as China and Russia, such as the outmoded Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.<\/p>\n

Even more crucially, the Trump Doctrine has identified China as the greatest threat not just to America but to the autonomy and sovereignty of countries around the world. Beijing\u2019s effort to conceal the COVID-19 outbreak only confirms Trump\u2019s intuition.<\/p>\n

The same Trump Doctrine applies to the Kremlin regime. Although critics blast Trump as being soft on Vladimir Putin, it was Trump, not Obama, who armed Ukraine with lethal weapons to resist Putin\u2019s aggression; who ratcheted up economic sanctions against Russian leaders; and who withdrew from treaties that limited America\u2019s ability to respond to sophisticated nuclear threats.<\/p>\n

Finally, Trump used unilateral American action to cancel Obama\u2019s flawed Iran nuclear deal, which paid the mullahs billions of dollars for a temporary delay in their nuclear-weapons program. Instead, he pushed Iran outside the world economy and has sought to contain it with a robust military cordon. He has also begun an overdue rebalancing of American forces from areas of less importance to our interests, such as the Middle East, and toward the rising economies of Asia.<\/p>\n

What will the Trump Doctrine look like in a second term? Under the best scenario, Trump can leverage earlier successes with friends as well as foes to expand American influence without entangling us in quagmires. For example, Trump could build a new alliance to contain China by bringing new attention to the pandemic\u2019s origins, Beijing\u2019s human-rights abuses and its serial cyber theft. Europe and America could reach new agreements that curb or eliminate the Chinese Communist-serving company Huawei\u2019s influence in the 5G sector and expand opportunities for Western firms.<\/p>\n

A second term, moreover, would free Trump to shift more of NATO\u2019s defense burden to its European members. While Europe can supply the ground forces for any conflict with a declining Russia, the United States can offer its dominance of air, sea, space and cyber and cooperate on developing advanced technologies such as autonomous systems and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

In Asia, the Trump Doctrine can frame a more comprehensive security architecture to deter Beijing. Washington can lead in halting the Communist regime\u2019s militarism in the South China Sea and in securing the strategic first-island chain running from Japan through Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. The president can also encourage India, Japan and Australia to cooperate with the United States to create a free and open Indo-Pacific region.<\/p>\n

In the Middle East, Trump could unify the growing opposition to Iran. He could promote the growing but still-nascent Israeli-Sunni alliance as the keystone of a new regional stability without the need for an American military presence.<\/p>\n

Finally, in Latin America, Trump could reboot the Monroe Doctrine to force Chinese, Iranian and Russian footholds out of our backyard, while joining with our southern neighbors to promote economic growth and the rule of law \u2014 and to crush the drug cartels that have triggered the illegal-migrant crisis.<\/p>\n

Pursuing these goals in his second term, should he win one, will only highlight the remarkable, and undervalued, successes of his first.<\/p>\n
