Ever since Trump they've taken a strange faux "anti-interventionism" isolationist perspective. This is why they have pulled back from Afghanistan, tried to ease tensions with Russia and generally focused on their "American jobs" rhetoric. It is obviously not applied consistently, like anything in the United States since the preamble to the declaration of independence saying "We hold this truths to be self evident that all men are created equal", but this is somewhat consistent with their newer Dovish and isolationist insistence of avoiding getting tangled into conflicts abroad. Ironically for all his racist base and his constant hawkish and white supremacist rhetoric, Trump is one of the few modern Presidents to not have started any significant military intervention abroad. They have however also done a heck of a job making life as a minority in the USA way worse and wasted a ton of potential with the trade war on China and also the atrocity of giving moral/covert support to fascists abroad.
