In the midst of his second term, President Donald Trump faces a significant decision regarding U.S. foreign policy, particularly in relation to Israel and Gaza. Having criticized Biden's administration for its handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict, Trump has the opportunity to distinguish his leadership by advocating for a ceasefire and lessening American involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts. Drawing inspiration from Ronald Reagan's strategies, Trump could leverage American military aid to encourage peace, countering both domestic dissatisfaction and geopolitical challenges already posed by Biden's policies.
Trump's decisions thus far indicate a shift from merely following Biden's foreign policy to decisively altering it, positioning him as a stronger peacemaker.
By calling for a ceasefire, Trump could restore America's geopolitical standing and appease domestic anger over the ongoing costs of foreign entanglements.
This moment may define Trump's presidency: to confront Israel on its policies or repeat the missteps of his predecessor.
Reagan's model of utilizing U.S. aid as leverage to promote peace could serve as an influential guide for Trump's emerging foreign policy.
