MAGA's anti‑colonial turn

A strand of MAGA foreign policy repackages support for territorial revision or de‑sovereignization of European overseas possessions as 'anti‑colonial' solidarity, using rhetorical endorsements and policy reviews to court nationalist leaders and destabilize old‑order alliances. It pairs performative rhetoric (praising Irish unity, reviewing Falklands sovereignty) with opportunistic diplomacy that legitimizes rival territorial claims. — This shift could reshape U.S. alliance politics by underwriting revisionist claims, empowering populist partners, and undermining legal norms around territorial sovereignty.
