• Trump states Greene has 'lost her way' amid criticism of his foreign policy focus.
• Greene defends herself, asserting she remains '100% America first'.
• The conflict highlights shifting dynamics within the Republican Party.

U.S. President Donald Trump publicly expressed concern over Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene's recent criticisms, stating that she "has lost her way." This criticism stems from Greene's insistence that Trump should concentrate more on domestic issues rather than foreign engagements, particularly following his meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, whom Greene called a "former Al Qaeda terrorist." Trump remarked, "I don’t know what happened to Marjorie. Nice woman, but I don’t know what happened. She’s lost her way, I think," highlighting the unexpected tension in their previously supportive relationship, according to Reuters and SCMP.

Greene, a staunch Trump supporter historically, has become increasingly vocal about her disagreements with him and Republican leadership on several issues including health care and foreign policy. She responded to Trump by stating, "I haven’t lost my way... I’m 100% America first and only!" Her focus on prioritizing domestic policy, especially regarding healthcare concerns for her constituents, signals a departure from her previous alignment with Trump’s strategies, according to The Hill and Reuters.

Moreover, Greene's messaging emphasizes urgent domestic issues like healthcare affordability, contrasting with Trump’s continued focus on international affairs. She encouraged his administration to engage in meetings centered on healthcare and criticized the lack of action on pressing domestic concerns, stating, “Start by hauling in the health insurance company’s executives," to formulate a Republican plan against high healthcare costs, as reported by The Hill and SCMP.

Trump defended his stance on foreign policy, reinforcing the importance of global awareness in presidential duties: “It’s easy to say, ‘Oh don’t worry about the world,’ but the world is turning out to be our biggest customer,” which reflects his strategic prioritization of international relations over domestic controversies, according to Reuters and SCMP.
