Trump Puts America First – Again – By Walking Away From Bad Global Deals

Washington spent decades signing the United States up for international organizations, conventions, and treaties that sounded noble but delivered very little—except costs, constraints, and lectures from foreign bureaucrats. This week, Donald J. Trump did what career politicians refused to do: he pulled America out of international arrangements that undermine U.S. sovereignty, security, and economic interests.

The executive action directs a full withdrawal from global organizations and agreements that conflict with America’s national priorities. Translation: if a treaty weakens U.S. power, drains taxpayer dollars, or hands decision-making authority to unelected international bodies, it’s gone. No more blank checks. No more apologizing for defending American interests.

For years, these institutions have operated like a one-way street—America pays more, gives more, and is expected to comply more, while hostile nations cheat, exploit loopholes, or openly work against U.S. interests. President Trump’s move sends a clear message: the United States will cooperate with allies, but it will not surrender control of its laws, economy, or national defense to global committees that voters never elected.

This reset matters for Nevada families. International agreements can shape everything from energy policy to labor rules and environmental mandates—often driving up costs at home while doing little to solve problems abroad. By reclaiming decision-making authority, the Trump administration is ensuring policies are made by Americans, for Americans, not dictated by diplomats in distant capitals.

Predictably, the usual voices are crying foul. The same crowd that never met a treaty they didn’t like is suddenly worried about “global leadership.” But real leadership doesn’t mean signing bad deals and hoping for the best—it means knowing when to walk away.

President Trump has always been clear-eyed about this truth: strong nations cooperate from a position of strength, not submission. By withdrawing from agreements that put America last, he’s restoring accountability, protecting sovereignty, and reminding the world that the United States answers to its citizens—not international bureaucrats.

America First isn’t a slogan. It’s policy. And once again, President Trump is proving that putting Americans first means having the backbone to say no.
