Almost one year into his second term one thing is clear: President Donald Trump is neither an interventionist, nation-builder or an isolationist. Instead, Trump has seemingly adopted the foreign policy of President Andrew Jackson, guided by principles like “No better friend, no worse enemy.”
However, Trump’s Jacksonian approach to the world stage comes with a slight twist, a “vise,” so to say, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words”:
“If Maduro cannot put embargoed oil on sanctioned tankers and get to Cuba, then Cuba’s going to have no ability to distill gasoline, nor will it have energy. And that’s exactly what is happening. The Cuban economy is in a Trump vise. Are we going to bomb Cuba? No. Are we going to have a Bay of Pigs standoff or invasion? No. Are we going to have a Cuban Missile Crisis with China? No. We’re going to have a Trump vise. And it’s going to squeeze.”

GOD BLESS YOU VICTOR.
GET WELL SOON
Such a pleasure to listen to Victor Hansen. He's a national treasure.
VDH as always ON TARGET
Says it was posted 1 day ago…FALSE! STOP doing this for clicks! VDH is speaking BEFORE Maduro was removed! BAD PRACTICE….
Well this was obviously recorded before we grabbed Maduro and whisked him away to NYC for prosecution.
Both Iran and Venezuela sit on huge oil reserves yet most citizens live in poverty. Iran has terrible water infrastructure. North Korea, Russia, and Iran not interested in joining global economic society. Luckily USA has become the number 1 producer of energy . We are a net exporter. Primarily due to fracking. Europe does not allow fracking. Europe also limits AI. Europe jumped too early into renewables after Fukushima now paying 3-4 times energy costs which makes them non competitor global economy. Europe recently relaxed emissions. Many European investors invest in USA stockmarket as the flow of money is tremendous vs European stock market. Magnificent 7 stocks combined market cap 22 trillion. Combined Europe GDP 19 trillion. USA becoming more interested in its backyard vs nato and further away countries.
Renegade country … You mean like Canada and Denmark 😂
Look at the billions cartels made with our previous open borders. Venezuela similar issues as narco state. Mexico, is also a narco state
So tired past 4 years Biden stating Trump damaging democracy. Our founding fathers wanted something better, constitutional Republic. Constitution limits powers and keeps government small. Totalitarians have obscured the meaning Republic and Democracy(mob rule) Trump was right on so many issues. Jan 6 recent investigation showing all kinds of misinformation to the American people. Some Democrats need jail time
.
Love your channel and Senator John Kennedy’s channel ♥️ Common sense. You weigh the pros and cons, deduce a common sense answer.
This is wrong. Under Trump, the U.S "president", for the first time, is owned by an enemy nation: Russia. Trump is afraid to cough in Putin's presence. His "peace plan" for the Russia-Ukraine war completely favored Russia's interests over those of our ally, Ukraine. So even though Putin is an enemy leader and clearly evil, Trump has been quite friendly – hardly his "worst enemy.".
❤❤❤
“I doubt it” guess again VDH🙄
Anyone got any info on how He is doing?
Well that prediction didn't age well, lol
This was clearly recorded before last Saturday but still good content
Hi VIctor
All said, I'm real hopeful for the Venezuelan people
President Trump should designate the Democrat Party as a domestic terrorist organization!
lol
Wow, this video aged so damn much in the last 24 hours. Can't wait for the follow-up from Victor…☺
There you go again… Repeating word for word what you just said 30 seconds before in the intro!
Pichrocolus Mundi Imperator.
Get well soon VDH.
I love VDH…, but he DID NOT get this one right 😂lol. His prediction was WAY OFF. Peace be with you all my fellow patriots 🇺🇸✝️🕊️😊
Trump prefers to use extreme military force than merely "squeezing" a foreign nation.
Great video glad to see you’re feeling better. Praise God.
4:18 – less than a day since posting and we have both invaded and bombed Venezuela – are you waking up yet you mouth breathers?
