Summary/Abstract: "America First", it all begins today. Donald Trump's election as President of the United States has a significant impact on international security. Will the international security circumscribed to N.A.T.O. be assured in a democratic paradigm or "will everyone have the security they will pay for”? One year after the establishment of Donald Trump in the Oval Office, the North Atlantic security and, by extension, international security have undergone significant positive changes. In this regard, we recall the new pacifist attitude of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea with the consequence of initiating the dialogue with the Republic of Korea and, at the same time, the dialogue with the United States of America; we recall Russia's preventive defensive attitude following the launch of the missile attacks on Syria on 14 April 2018 by the United States and their allies; we recall the joint military exercises of the United States of America and France that started on 3 April 2018, exercises conducted on the US territory, with a significant message to Germany. In conclusion, we appreciate that the election of President Donald Trump has a significant impact on international security and the effects are positive. Donald Trump's bellicose attitude appears as a practical application of the Latin adage "si vis pacem, para bellum."
