Trump broadens U.S. military footprint

President Trump has been ramping up U.S. military operations in various regions, including targeting drug-smuggling boats in the eastern Pacific, while simultaneously working towards a peace deal with Iran. This expansion raises questions about the viability of his America First policy in maintaining a significant overseas military presence. Political science professor Andrew Latham suggests that these actions are testing the limits of Trump's approach to international relations, indicating a complex balancing act between domestic policy and global military engagement.
