Those who constantly claim—to anyone who will listen—that the United States under Donald Trump “abandoned” Tunisia on July 25 and are even trying to isolate it on regional, Arab and African levels must be disappointed. They need to admit that their mis‑calculations and poor alliances have once again led them astray.
In parallel, Tunisians who are immune to the lies, scams and political blindness know that the Tunis‑American relationship, which spans more than three centuries, cannot suffer any distortion, regardless of the circumstances in Washington or Tunis.
They also understand that the leaders of both countries remain faithful to the Tunis‑American friendship and are not, for any reason, willing to follow manipulators or renegades of any stripe—whether Tunisian or American—who would sacrifice the precious capital of trust and credibility that binds the two nations.
Even better, thanks to the forward‑looking, realistic and ambitious vision of President Kaïs Saïed, who advocates the creation of a new world order based fundamentally on each country’s absolute right to full and effective sovereignty, the ties between Tunis and Washington have gained fresh momentum.
This renewed dynamism is especially evident in the American conviction that they are now dealing with a partner that has a say, a clear approach, and no longer waits for instructions before acting.
When the U.S. ambassador to Tunis, during a meeting with the president of the Tunisian Union of Commerce and Handicrafts (UTICA), announced that a plan is under way to reactivate joint commissions and restore bilateral cooperation to its former glory, we have every right to welcome such an initiative and to expect that our national renewal strategy will bear fruit in line with the legitimate aspirations of the Tunisian people.
