The article from Le Figaro discusses the military actions taken by Donald Trump since his return to the Oval Office in January 2025, where he has launched attacks on seven countries, three of which had never previously been targeted by U.S. military strikes. This shift raises questions about Trump's foreign policy and the perception that he might be more bellicose than his predecessors, despite claims from supporters that his tenure had been marked by restraint.

In particular, former supporter JD Vance highlighted Trump's foreign policy in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, arguing that under Trump, American forces had not been committed to unnecessary foreign conflicts, contrasting this with the previous administrations that had led America into unwinnable wars. Vance asserts that Trump would continue this trend of avoiding conflict, providing him with strong support in his bid for the presidency.

However, the article delves deeper into Trump's aggressive military strategy upon his return to power, which seemingly contradicts the assertion that he would not engage in military conflicts. The juxtaposition of his earlier claims of non-belligerence with the current reality of increased military actions suggests a complex evolution of his policies and raises implications for both U.S. foreign relations and the upcoming presidential race.
