Swift Changes in Foreign Policy

Donald Trump has implemented foreign policy decisions with unprecedented speed, contrasting sharply with traditional political processes. For instance, his threat of imposing 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico resulted in swift commitments from leaders in both countries to enhance border security and combat fentanyl trafficking. Similarly, he quickly garnered compliance from Colombia by announcing sanctions, leading the Colombian government to agree to take back deportees almost immediately. This aggressive and rapid approach highlights a stark departure from the usual bureaucratic delays often associated with foreign policy in Washington.
