βAmerica First.β During Trumpβs first term, the world was unsure what to make of this phrase or ideology. Was it just political talk to excite voters or something bigger?

In reality, America First is much, much bigger than these things. It is the new US geostrategic strategy, and its impact will be felt for the next 10, 20, and 30 years. Anyone trying to decipher Trumpβs boldest moves toward allies like Canada or old adversaries like Iran can only find clarity by understanding what America First really means.
