Withdrawn the U.S. from the Global Compact on Migration and UNESCO.

He’s also fixing relationships with our allies, which Obama destroyed; renegotiating NAFTA and Obama’s disastrous trade agreement with South Korea; rebuilding the military; deporting illegal aliens; ending chain migration and the visa lottery; destroying MS-13 through arrests and deportations, and stacking federal courts with conservatives.
