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.
As of May 1, 2026, the EU-Mercosur interim trade deal took provisional force, opening a 700+ million-person market. South American states gain EU access while Europe secures critical minerals, even as farmers warn of deeper import pressure and new trade tensions.
The EU built trade “protections” instead of honoring commitments, leaving the U.S. with little reciprocity. Trump says that era is over, warning Europe it must open markets, invest in America, and align on trade or face steep tariffs.
Trump’s backing of Morocco’s military modernization and Western Sahara claims is redrawing Mediterranean power balances. Spain’s low NATO spending, F-35 snub, and repeated clashes with Washington have left Madrid isolated as Morocco gains strategic leverage in the Maghreb.
The Pentagon is scrapping the planned deployment of the Army’s long-range fires battalion to Germany, ending a Biden-era plan meant to bolster NATO’s eastern flank with Tomahawk missiles, SM-6 systems, and hypersonic platforms. Trump’s move, alongside troop cuts, marks a sharp shift in U.S. Europe strategy and pressures Germany to assume more defense responsibility.
The Trump administration is increasing efforts to help broker peace in Sudan, where a brutal civil war has raged since 2023. With hundreds of thousands killed or displaced, renewed U.S. diplomacy aims to ease suffering, prevent regional spillover, and support a pragmatic path to stability.
Cuba is next, and President Trump’s remarks in Florida point to a tougher, more decisive stance. Supporters see it as part of a broader maximum-pressure approach, with Venezuela and Iran as recent examples. The message: the communist regime’s days may be numbered.
China's Shipbuilding Capacity Now 230 Times Greater Than America's, warns Lt. Gen. Sklenka. While the U.S. still leads in nuclear supercarriers and advanced aircraft, Beijing's industrial machine is rapidly preparing for large-scale conflict. The general cautions China is no longer a near-peer rival but a true military equal demanding urgent action.
The Biden DOJ's anti-Christian bias is now official. Believers were privately mocked as "cultists," pro-lifers faced the harshest sentences, and the SPLC was weaponized to brand Christians as threats. A new Task Force report lays the systematic targeting bare, exposing deliberate persecution of people of faith.
President Trump is moving to reduce U.S. troop presence in Germany, Italy, and Spain after their leaders criticized America during the Iran conflict. Around 5,000 troops have already begun leaving German bases. The America First principle is being enforced—NATO allies must share the burden or accept a smaller American footprint on their soil.
China's new trade rules unveiled in April are alarming U.S. businesses because they could penalize foreign companies attempting to shift sourcing away from China. Beijing is weaponizing legal pressure to block the very "derisking" Washington demands, turning corporate fear into a negotiating tool ahead of a potential Trump-Xi summit.
After nearly seven years of silence, the first commercial flight from the United States touched down in Caracas. American Airlines has restored its direct Miami-Caracas route, marking a powerful symbol that Venezuela is stepping out of isolation and beginning to reconnect with the hemisphere after years of turmoil.
Trump is escalating pressure on Iran with the possible first combat use of America's Dark Eagle hypersonic missile. Paired with a 24-hour ultimatum, this move signals a dramatic shift from past diplomacy. Tehran is suddenly eager to talk, proving that real strength, not soft words, changes the calculations of hostile regimes.
