President Trump's America First foreign policy is delivering results once again, as a top State Department official confirms that other countries are finally heeding Trump's call to take responsibility for securing the critical Strait of Hormuz shipping lane.
Tommy Pigott from the State Department told Breitbart in an exclusive interview that Trump has made a "compelling case" for other nations to "step up when it comes to the Strait of Hormuz" rather than expecting American taxpayers to foot the bill for global security.
This is exactly what Trump promised during his campaign - no more being the world's unpaid police force while other wealthy nations sit back and let America do all the heavy lifting. The Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of global oil supplies pass, has been a flashpoint for decades with Iran constantly threatening to disrupt shipping.
America First Means Results
Under the failed Biden administration, America continued the same old playbook of shouldering the burden while our so-called "allies" enjoyed the benefits without paying their fair share. Sound familiar? It's the same story we saw with NATO, where Trump had to drag European nations kicking and screaming to meet their defense spending commitments.
Now, just weeks into Trump's second term, we're already seeing other countries recognize they need to step up and protect their own economic interests instead of relying on American military might as their personal security service.
"President Trump made a compelling case that other countries need to step up when it comes to the Strait of Hormuz," Pigott confirmed.
This is what winning looks like, patriots. While the deep state and legacy media spent four years trying to convince Americans that Trump's approach would "damage our alliances," the reality is that Trump's tough love is forcing our partners to finally pull their own weight.
The question now is: how long will it take for the mainstream media to spin this obvious foreign policy victory into somehow being a bad thing? Because you know they will.
