Congressional Republicans have largely deferred to President Trump as he topples what were once their party's core foreign policy principles.

BW, do you like polls? Here's one from Trump friendly Gallup:
Less than one month into his second term in office, President Donald Trump's job approval rating is at 45%, similar to his first post-inauguration reading of 47% in January.news.gallup.com
Trump's ratings on several issues that his administration has targeted in the first weeks of his presidency are similar to his overall rating, including on immigration (46%), foreign affairs (44%), foreign trade (42%) and the economy (42%). Meanwhile, slightly fewer Americans, 40% each, approve of the president's handling of the situations in Ukraine and in the Middle East between the Israelis and Palestinians, as fewer offer opinions of his performance on these two issues.
Ninety-three percent of Republicans, 37% of independents and 4% of Democrats approve of Trump's job performance overall. Republicans also broadly approve of the president's handling of immigration (92%), foreign affairs (90%), the economy (90%) and foreign trade (89%). Another 80% of Republicans each approve of Trump's handling of the situations in the Middle East and Ukraine.
At the same time, Democrats register single-digit approval ratings of Trump on all six issues measured. Aside from independents' 40% rating for the president's performance on immigration, their ratings range from 31% on the economy to 37% on foreign affairs.
Trumps only concern is giving Putin what he wants. Zelenskyy wasn't even invited to the peace talks. Ridiculous.

No you don't. Because you clearly don't know what is going on in the world and you make it up your maga BS as you go. Or you are blind. Or you are a liar.
Dems are currently not in charge. So it's unlikely to be happening at the federal level anymore.
However, when and where they were in charge Native American land has been returned.
Here are two examples:
Newsom's administration awarded $107.7 million total to California Native American tribes, which resulted in 49,345 acres of returned land.Jun 19, 2024

through the federal "Land Buy-Back Program for Tribal Nations," nearly get 3 million acres of land have been restored to Native American tribes across the United States, consolidating fractional interests and returning land to tribal trust ownership.
