Everything Chomcho publishes about Donald Trump and the foreign policy of his second term is gathered under this tag. The articles follow the president’s decisions on Iran, China, NATO, the Strait of Hormuz, trade and the southern border, and explain the geopolitics behind each of them in plain language. You will find analysis of his deterrence strategy, his handling of allies who free ride and adversaries who test American resolve, and the results his pressure produces on the ground. This is the record of an America First presidency judged by outcomes rather than by the headlines of the legacy media, and by what every move means for the American people.
On October 21, Sanae Takaichi completes her first year as Japan's prime minister. Takaichi's first year reached 2 percent of GDP on defense two years early, ended the ban on lethal arms exports and said out loud that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could pull Japan into war. China answered with sanctions. Washington got the ally it wanted.
France blames Musk. At the OECD in Paris, Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot listed the MAGA community beside Russia, China and Iran as sources of hostile narratives. Meanwhile, 24 French schools have been burned or ransacked, 715 police officers injured and more than 6,100 people arrested. So who is really destabilizing France?
The US-Canada trade war is stuck. Trump says he is "in no rush," and Washington will hold its position until Canada wants to "get to yes." Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carney courts Europe, China and India, even though about 72 percent of Canada's goods exports still go to the United States, and two provinces question Canada itself.
Flávio Bolsonaro finished first in the Brazil elections, 47 percent to Lula's 45, after every major poll had Lula ahead. The runoff is October 25. Behind the numbers: a father serving 27 years, a judge who shut down X, a Congress that moved right, and a candidate offering Washington rare earths and a seat in the Shield of the Americas.
Colombia's president sent his vice president to the UN with a definition of globalism that names the problem: nations treated as obstacles to a uniformity decided above them. Milei, Fujimori and Kast spoke in the same key, Trump told the ICC's members to resign, and Petro's old speeches show what changed. UN and globalism, on trial.
The Trump-Xi summit in Washington ended with a two-month extension of the trade truce and nothing else: no deal on Iran, Taiwan, chips or rare earths. Xi wanted an end to arms sales to Taiwan; Trump wanted leverage on Tehran and delivery on old promises. Stability beat escalation, but broken promises earn only a shorter leash.
Trump met Delcy Rodríguez for fifteen minutes in New York and told her elections must come "at the end of the day." Rubio explained the order: debt restructuring, institutions and a durable republic before the vote. Lula calls it lost sovereignty. Chomcho.com looks at the Venezuela transition, the diaspora, Colombia, oil and China.
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.
The leftist Chamber of Deputies voted to interpellate Foreign Minister Pérez Mackenna over the Strait of Magellan, the exit from the Non-Aligned Movement, and the friendship with Trump and Milei. Chile foreign policy under Kast answers the political theater with six months of results, borders controlled and inflation tamed.
Is Spain a ruined country? Trump's four words to GB News stand on a hard record: a NATO ally paying not even half the agreed target, an immigration system buried under 1.17 million amnesty applications, the Ceuta border collapse, and a navy losing much of its future aviation over the F-35. The numbers say the warning is deserved.
The Financial Times exposed C430L, a covert program in which Russia's top missile engineers help Iran build supersonic cruise missiles designed to threaten US warships. Russia arming Iran means two wars are merging into one axis, while American interceptor stockpiles shrink and China watches for a window of opportunity on Taiwan.
Muslim ministers met in Amman and declared the Temple Mount a place of worship exclusively for Muslims. The declaration rejects Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem and demands UN action. This article covers the history of the Temple Mount, the Bible prophecy of a future temple, and the nations that move their embassies to Jerusalem.
