Presidential Foreign Policy Is Reversible

Trump’s second‑term foreign‑policy shifts are the product of an individual president’s choices and expanded unilateral authority, not an irreversible national realignment. Because much of this agenda lacks broad public endorsement and rests on executive actions, a post‑Trump administration could markedly alter U.S. alliances, aid, and grand strategy. — If true, the expectation that America’s international role is permanently altered by one president is mistaken, which matters for how voters, allies, and institutions prioritize remedies and political strategy.
