Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić’s recent praise of President Donald Trump on Newsmax’s American Agenda should be a wake-up call for every patriot who believes America must lead the world again. Vučić told the network he sees Mr. Trump’s approach as offering “peace, freedom, law, and justice,” a blunt rebuke to eight years of feckless, appeasing foreign policy under the previous administration.
Vučić went further, publicly crediting President Trump with helping secure a ceasefire and the release of hostages in the Middle East — a tangible result that shows American muscle and smart diplomacy can bring real outcomes. That kind of decisive action, which prioritizes results over virtue-signaling, is exactly what allies and friends have been begging for.
The Serbian leader also praised President Trump’s recent decision to pause sweeping tariffs, calling the 90-day reset “a very good step forward” and welcoming talks to resolve trade spats without retaliatory escalation. This proves what conservatives have always argued: America’s policies must be firm but pragmatic, using leverage to secure better deals rather than endless grandstanding.
If you still doubt the scale of Trump’s diplomatic footprint, consider that even adversaries and wary global players have acknowledged his push for peace. Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly praised Mr. Trump’s energetic efforts to stop hostilities in Ukraine, a remarkable admission that Washington’s renewed assertiveness is reshaping the global conversation about war and diplomacy.
This is the kind of foreign policy that puts America first while also advancing stability — peace through strength, not by kowtowing to international elites or outsourcing our security to weak multilateral institutions. While the coastal elites and the left apologize for American power, hardworking patriots see leaders like Vučić recognizing the value of a United States that wins negotiations, secures peace, and defends allies when it counts.
Conservatives should take pride in these developments and keep pushing for a robust, principled American agenda that defends our citizens and promotes true peace abroad. The world noticed when a foreign leader publicly thanked our president for pursuing peace and practical solutions, and that notice matters; it restores respect for the Republic and gives millions of freedom-loving people hope that American leadership can, and will, make the world safer.
