Trump-Reagan Fusion in Foreign Policy

A new consensus has emerged within the American conservative movement regarding foreign policy, described as a fusion of Trump's approaches with Reagan's ideals. This consensus advocates for a strong national security strategy that recognizes the current geopolitical challenges, such as the aggressive actions of China and ongoing conflicts in Europe and the Middle East. The authors emphasize that, contrary to common perceptions, the Republican Party is united on crucial issues like military strength, economic policy that prioritizes free and fair trade, and the concept of American exceptionalism. This alignment aims to provide a coherent direction for the party moving forward and to address significant threats to American interests.
