It feels good to be winning again, doesn’t it? For years, Americans were told to accept decline as the new normal. We were told that other nations would eat our lunch and that our best days were behind us. But a funny thing happens when leaders actually put America first.

That old sense of American confidence is roaring back. It’s a feeling built on common sense, strength, and keeping promises. When a leader says they will do something and then actually does it, it sends a powerful message to friends and foes alike. Our rivals are starting to get that message loud and clear.

And on Thursday, President Trump delivered yet another one of those wins. After months of a tense standoff, he announced a major breakthrough with our biggest rival.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

President Donald Trump said on Thursday that the US signed a trade deal with China and that a deal with India may also be in the works.

He said that Trump administration officials have been “working overtime making deals with other countries,” and then added, “We just signed with China yesterday, right? Just signed with China.” However, he did not specify the details of the deal.

This wasn’t just any deal. This was a strategic victory. The agreement forces China to resume shipments of rare earth minerals and magnets, critical materials that Beijing had been withholding to hurt our country.

China’s Economic Attack

Earlier this year, the Chinese Communist Party tried to play hardball. In retaliation for President Trump’s America First tariffs, they cut off exports of these vital resources. This was a direct attack on our economy, threatening to paralyze our most important industries, including automakers, aerospace manufacturers, and even our own military contractors.

For a moment, Beijing thought it had America over a barrel. They believed they could use their control over these supply chains to make us bend the knee. They were wrong.

Trump Fought Back—And Won

Instead of backing down, the Trump administration applied counter-pressure. President Trump held a direct phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, making it clear that the United States would not be bullied. The administration put its own controls on key exports to China, showing them that two can play that game.

China learned the hard way that you can’t bluff a master dealmaker. Faced with real consequences, they folded. The new agreement ensures that these essential materials will start flowing back to the U.S., securing our supply chains and protecting American jobs. As Trump noted, “We’re starting to open up China. Things that never really could have happened.”

This is more than just a win; it’s a lesson in leadership. For decades, politicians let China walk all over us. Now, they are dealing with a President who puts our nation’s security and prosperity first. And with a potential deal with India on the horizon, it looks like the wins are just getting started.
