America no longer ‘apologising for itself' under Donald Trump
Former Trump senior advisor Christian Whiton discusses the "successful foreign policy' of the United States under Donald Trump. President Trump launched a fresh spray against Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, stating the leader was 'playing with fire' after he sanctioned one of the largest drone strikes yet against Ukraine. 'A strong America, an America that's not apologising for itself, a military that's no longer woke,' Mr Whiton said.

US judges accused of ‘inventing' laws to block Trump initiatives
Former Trump senior advisor Christian Whiton expects the US administration to 'win' against Democrat judges who seek to block the president's initiatives. This comes as a federal judge blocked US President Donald Trump's signing of an executive order to shut down the Department of Education. 'This has really exposed that the mid-levels of the judiciary remain very activist,' Mr Whiton said. 'They are not just interpreting laws, they are trying to invent laws ... or trying to usurp powers that the Constitution gives to the president.'

‘Good signs': Western allies getting ‘serious' about China threat in the Pacific
Former Trump senior advisor Christian Whiton discusses how China has been 'put on notice' by Western nations but they are not 'deterred'. Australia and the United States have stressed the danger China poses militarily in the Indo-Pacific and beyond as top defence officials gathered in Singapore on Saturday to discuss their shared strategic concerns. 'Tokyo is nearly doubling its spending on defence, there is the US-Australia-UK agreement,' Mr Whiton said. 'Certainly, some good signs that people are getting serious about the threat in the Pacific.'
