The MAGA vision of national interest advocates a shift toward authoritarian models embraced by countries such as Russia, China, and Iran. By freezing foreign aid upon his inauguration, Trump initiated a dismantling of the U.S. government's global engagement strategy. Historically, aid was seen as essential to American security and stability, but its perceived unpopularity among citizens has reinforced a narrative against such spending. This approach undermines decades of bipartisan support for international assistance aimed at stabilizing regions, curbing poverty, and enhancing global democracy.
In a radical shift of American national interests towards an isolationist approach, the MAGA vision mirrors authoritarian models seen in countries like Russia, China, and Iran.
By freezing foreign aid, the Trump administration signaled an intent to dismantle America's global aid framework, while also repurposing governmental structures to align with ideological warfare.
