Episode Description

Retired Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer returns to The P.A.S. Report to analyze how President Trump’s foreign policy is reshaping global power dynamics, from enforcing the Gaza ceasefire and forcing Hamas’s disarmament to confronting Russia and ending the Ukraine war. Shaffer explains why Trump’s foreign policy doctrine of diplomacy backed by force is redefining America’s role in the world. The discussion dives deep into the new threat from drug cartels, China’s growing influence in Latin America, and how the next administration plans to restore order at home and abroad.
