“The Trump administration has slashed federal spending for democracy promotion efforts around the globe. That rollback of U.S. meddling is perhaps the most positive foreign-policy reform of the Trump presidency.

Democracy is so important that the U.S. government refuses to stand idly by when foreign voters go astray.” (10/21/25)
