JD Vance peddles 'Trump doctrine' of aggressive foreign policy to conservative voters nationwide
President Donald Trump's 'Trump doctrine' of aggressive foreign policy is being shaped by JD Vance, who was initially skeptical of Soleimani's killing and has since become a key advocate for the approach. Vance's views on the doctrine are now helping to influence Trump's decisions on national security and international relations.

JD Vance, a key figure in President Donald Trump's inner circle, has been instrumental in shaping and selling the 'Trump doctrine' on foreign policy, including the 2020 military strike that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, with which he was initially skeptical. The doctrine emphasizes American strength, nationalism, and a more isolationist approach to international relations. Vance's influence can be seen in other Trump-era foreign policy decisions, such as the withdrawal from Syria and Afghanistan. Critics argue that this approach has contributed to increased global tensions and instability.
