Shifting Alliances in the Trump Era

This chapter examines the transformative changes in global alliances and international relations since Trump's presidency, comparing them to post-World War II shifts. It highlights the rapid re-strategizing by European nations independently of the U.S. and the significant implications for U.S. foreign policy and its relationships with other democracies. The discussion also addresses Trump's rhetoric towards authoritarian regimes, particularly in the context of his relationship with Russia and the impact on international support for Ukraine.
