How is President Trump's approach to foreign policy different from previous administrations?
President Trump represents a shift in foreign policy by prioritizing American interests rather than acquiescing to international demands.

Laura Ingraham suggests that despite initial European discomfort with this shift, ultimately all parties will benefit from this more pragmatic approach to global engagement.
