During his recent visit to Saudi Arabia, President Donald Trump delivered a powerful speech outlining what could be considered the “Trump Doctrine,” emphasizing the importance of promoting peace through strength while acknowledging that intervention is not always necessary.
In his speech, the President highlighted the impressive progress made in Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, attributing their success to the efforts of the local people rather than costly nation-building endeavors in places like Kabul and Baghdad.

Trump pointed out the emergence of a new generation of leaders in the Middle East who are moving beyond historical conflicts and working towards a future focused on economic growth, technological advancement, and peaceful coexistence among people of diverse backgrounds.
He skewered those who failed, saying that, “in the end, the so-called ‘nation builders’ wrecked far more nations than they built, and the interventionalists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand themselves. They told you how to do it, but they had no idea how to do it themselves.”
