Trump’s Actions: A Century of US Global Power Lost in Weeks
Donald Trump’s foreign policy is characterized by a pattern of abandoning allies, most recently exemplified by his public criticism of Ukrainian President Zelensky. This behavior, coupled with his perceived favoritism towards Vladimir Putin, undermines longstanding alliances and jeopardizes international stability. Trump’s actions, such as negotiating Ukraine’s fate without its involvement and publicly degrading Zelensky, severely damage U.S. credibility and embolden adversaries. This shift in approach risks a global realignment, with allies rearming and potentially forging new partnerships, leaving the U.S. isolated and facing an increasingly powerful China.
