Republican Foreign Policy: The Trump-Regan Fusion

Republican foreign policy experts are advocating for a Trump-Regan fusion in the party's approach. This fusion blends traditional principles of Reaganism with contemporary Trumpian ideas to shape a coherent foreign policy vision. As outlined in a new book, this fusion emphasizes conservative political philosophy, a defense strategy anchored in peace through strength, a focus on free and fair trade, and a belief in American exceptionalism. The fusion aims to address major global issues by presenting a united front within the Republican Party, emphasizing shared values and strategic priorities.
