Trump has already endorsed the Monroe Doctrine. Now he needs to endorse the Truman Doctrine.

The article focuses on the strategic opportunity for former President Donald Trump to revive the Truman Doctrine—a U.S. foreign policy framework originally articulated in 1947 to counter Soviet expansion—in response to ongoing Russian aggression in Ukraine amid the Iran War. It argues that Russia has benefited from the Iran conflict by raising oil prices and distracting U.S. attention, potentially emboldening further Russian actions in Europe. The piece suggests that invoking the Truman Doctrine, alongside increased military support for Ukraine, would signal strong American resolve to NATO allies and adversaries alike, reinforcing U.S. commitment to countering Russia’s long-term strategic threats. It also highlights the importance of allied partnerships in amplifying U.S. foreign policy effectiveness, drawing parallels to historical precedents. [Extracted from the article]
