Abstract

This chapter delves into the strategic role of drones during Donald Trump's presidency, exploring how they were used to advance the administration's grand strategy. It discusses the doctrine of the Trump administration, which included principles of isolationism, nationalism, and realism, and how these influenced the use of drones in targeted states. The chapter highlights the continuities and discontinuities in Trump's drone policy compared to previous administrations, focusing on the increased use of drones and the resulting civilian casualties. It also examines the impact of drone warfare on US grand strategy, including the decline in US soft power and the rise in antipathy towards the US. The chapter concludes by discussing the dilemmas and contradictions of drone warfare and its connection to the broader post-9/11 US grand strategy.
