Trump Abandons 'America First' Isolationism on Historic Middle East Diplomatic Tour

President Donald Trump's first major overseas trip in his second term has marked a shift away from his signature 'America First' isolationist stance, as he engaged in diplomatic efforts with key Middle Eastern leaders and acknowledged the need for cooperation on regional security issues. During his visits to Japan and South Korea, Trump demonstrated a willingness to work with international partners to address common challenges. However, it is unclear whether this new approach will last, as many of Trump's domestic policies remain rooted in isolationist sentiment. The extent to which Trump's newfound pragmatism will influence his policy decisions remains to be seen.
