The America First foreign policy is the doctrine behind almost every story on this site, and this tag collects the articles that examine it directly. They explain the principles beneath the headlines: peace through strength, deterrence instead of endless wars, allies who pay their share, trade that serves American workers and borders that are actually defended. Readers will see how the doctrine plays out in Iran, China, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, where it is working, where it meets resistance and why the globalist establishment fights it with such energy. The geopolitics of every region look different once Washington puts its own citizens first, and these pieces show how.
Washington is preparing to move most of its MQ-9 Reaper drones from Africa to South America for counter-drug work. It is the Donroe Doctrine in hardware: a coalition of fourteen governments, joint operations with Ecuador, a new hard line in Bogotá, and a Secretary of State who found willing allies instead of creating them.
Twenty-five years after the towers fell, the legacy media compares Trump's Iran strikes to the post-9/11 forever wars. The numbers say otherwise: 20 dead versus 7,000, 42 billion versus 8 trillion dollars, zero occupation. The 9/11 foreign policy of the uniparty reacted to catastrophe; Trump acts to prevent a nuclear 9/11.
Keiko Fujimori was sworn in on July 28 as the first woman elected president of Peru. The Fujimori first 100 days will be judged on a historic wave of crime and a super El Niño. Her plan includes a mega-prison, faceless judges, a military crackdown and closer security ties with the Trump administration. Can she finish a full term?
The America UN confrontation exploded when US diplomats walked out of the Security Council during France's speech. Behind the drama: a rigged vote for Volker Türk, the UN human rights chief who condemned America more times than five dictatorships combined, and Macron's France lecturing the world while it prosecutes free speech at home.
President Trump declared a US Hormuz toll of 20 percent on all cargo shipped through the strait, naming America the guardian of the waterway. Iran's foreign minister mocked the move but agreed with the premise. Oil prices jumped over 7 percent as the world waits to see who ends up paying to keep the Persian Gulf open, stirring debate.
The new military headquarters of Egypt, called the Octagon, is now the largest military complex on Earth, bigger than the U.S. Pentagon and the size of Lisbon. While Sisi celebrates the fortress, poor Egyptians ask why, and Coptic Christians still wait for protection from persecution amid Turkey drills, Russian missiles, and Israel's cold peace.
The Founders were not isolationists. They were global traders who guarded their political sovereignty jealously. Washington, Jefferson, and Monroe built a foreign policy compass that still points true 250 years later. From the Barbary Coast to the Strait of Hormuz, the principles endure. Founders foreign policy and America First share the same principles, separated only by history.
At SPIEF 2026 in St. Petersburg, Putin warned that any nation can lose access to dollar and euro assets at any moment. Russia and BRICS are building blockchain payment systems to bypass SWIFT. But the BRICS dollar replacement plan faces a major problem: the dollar just hit a 12-year high in global payments.
UK Foreign Secretary Cooper landed in Beijing on June 1, 2026 — carrying burner phones over espionage fears. Yet she went anyway. The UK China reset is underway. Starmer, Macron, Sanchez, Carney — every major Western leader is courting Beijing. Here is what it means for America First and the future of the West.
Eight bodies were found stuffed in plastic bags in Ecuador on June 3, 2026 — including two minors who were farmers. Ecuador's homicide rate hit 50.9 per 100,000 in 2025, the highest in South America. US commandos are already on the ground. The Ecuador gang wars are now a hemispheric crisis.
The Pentagon has cancelled the Typhon missiles Germany deployment. These Tomahawk cruise missiles can strike Moscow from German soil. Two official reasons were given: depleted stockpiles after Iran and fear of provoking Russia. But Europe's refusal to support America during the Iran conflict is the real unstated reason.
The Trump sanctions Cuba strategy escalated on June 4, 2026, with personal sanctions on President Díaz-Canel and his family. Visa and Mastercard cut off the island on June 6. Caribbean leaders are nervous. Here is what Rubio told CARICOM — and what China's growing footprint means for America First.
