Former President Donald Trump has once again demonstrated his commitment to putting American interests first by announcing the end of U.S. sanctions on Syria. This bold move marks a significant shift away from the failed interventionist policies of previous administrations, which have drained American resources and entangled our nation in endless conflicts overseas with little to show for it. Trump’s decision is a welcome return to a foreign policy rooted in realism and the prioritization of American security and prosperity.
For years, Washington’s establishment has insisted on maintaining a hardline stance against Syria, pouring billions of taxpayer dollars into a conflict that has not improved the lives of ordinary Americans. The sanctions regime, often championed by neoconservatives and globalists, has only served to prolong suffering in the region and entrench adversarial regimes, while doing nothing to advance U.S. interests. By reversing course, Trump is acknowledging what many on the right have long argued: endless sanctions and interventions do not create stability or serve the American people.
This move also signals a clear break from the so-called “nation-building” projects that have dominated U.S. foreign policy since the early 2000s. Trump’s approach recognizes that America’s primary responsibility is to its citizens, not to serve as the world’s policeman or to remake foreign societies in our image. The costly and ineffective policies of the past have only weakened America’s standing abroad and distracted it from pressing issues at home, such as border security, economic growth, and the fight against rising crime.
Predictably, the foreign policy establishment and their allies in the mainstream media are already criticizing Trump’s decision, claiming it will undermine U.S. influence or embolden America’s adversaries. But these are the same voices who have been wrong time and again, from Iraq to Afghanistan to Libya. It’s time to reject the failed wisdom of the past and embrace a more restrained, common-sense approach that puts American interests above all else.
Trump’s decision to end sanctions on Syria is a step in the right direction move that reflects the will of voters who are tired of endless wars and foreign entanglements. By focusing on peace, stability, and the well-being of American citizens, this policy shift reaffirms the principle that America’s leaders should always put our nation first.
