Anytime there are strained relations between the US and another country, leftist media outlets do not miss the opportunity to point towards President Trump’s “failed” diplomacy.
After Maduro’s arrest in international narcotics cases, the same thing happened. Outlets like BBC reported a “Venezuela Attack” and some outlets claimed Maduro’s arrest was due to Trump’s ego rather than America’s national interests. But if it was an “attack,” how were Venezuela and US flight services restored just yesterday?
In a significant geopolitical and economic development, the US and Venezuela extended trade relations, restoring commercial flights between Miami and Caracas after 7 years.
The US Department of State credited President Trump’s leadership for these improved diplomatic ties.
“For nearly 7 years there have been no direct commercial flights between the U.S. and Venezuela,” the Department of State said. “Under President Trump, we’re changing that today. Flights between Miami and Caracas [have been] restored.”
7 years ago, the US Department of Homeland Security ordered an indefinite suspension of the airline route, citing security concerns. Now authorities have confirmed that the first commercial flight successfully completed the Miami–Caracas journey, reestablishing a vital air corridor that had remained inactive since 2019. The renewed flights will deliver immediate benefits: reconnection for families separated for years, particularly within the large Venezuelan population living in the United States; strengthening of business travel; support for trade discussions; and the encouragement of investment opportunities between the two countries. Airlines have already begun scheduling regular service on the route, and officials expect additional carriers to follow. This expansion will increase travel frequency and gradually normalize air connectivity between the two nations.
Under President Trump, the Middle-East geopolitics are reshaping in various nations including Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. They have become closer with the US and have cost Iran and its terror proxies a lot as Iran is failing to draw sympathy for its terror operations from those nations.
Trump accomplished this during the Gaza peace deal under the name of Peace 2025. Yes, relations with NATO nations under Trump’s presidency look slightly strained, but what he is saying shows that he is reconsidering foreign policy via “Peace Through Strength.”
NATO nations had bluntly stated that the Iran war was “Not our war.” Yet, the US funds 60% of NATO’s defense. When it’s US taxpayers’ money and NATO doesn’t help the US in a crisis, Trump’s skepticism is valid.
Recently, King Charles and Queen Camilla visited the US and attended a dinner at the White House, marking their first official visit since ascending the British throne in 2022. The occasion also marks the first visit by a British monarch since Queen Elizabeth II traveled to the US in 2007 for the Jamestown settlement anniversary. But, the left-backed media outlets resorted to trolling Trump, downplaying his diplomatic efforts that made this historic moment possible and paved the path for stronger ties between the nations.
Regardless, Trump’s second term has witnessed dramatic foreign policy shifts: war against the nuclear capacity of terror-sponsoring nations, ending the Gaza war, and stopping the India-Pakistan conflict. Tariffs are now ready to be charged at “zero” in India, which were historically as high as 150%.
In short, Trump’s actions starting from Maduro’s dramatic arrest to his tit-for-tat policies in imposing tariffs have significantly elevated the US’s global super power image, which he promised in his MAGA campaign before the 2024 election. Thus, his “Peace Through Strength” is no longer a mere political stunt—it’s actually showing results.
