Deep dives
Transformative Impact of Trump's Foreign Policy
Trump's foreign policy signals a significant shift in America's global role, drawing parallels between him and Vladimir Putin's worldview. He adopts an entitlement mentality, viewing America as having the right to dominate its neighbors and dictate policy, reflecting a problematic mindset typically associated with authoritarian regimes. Such a perspective conflicts with the traditional U.S. approach of supporting liberal democracies, which foster international peace and stability. This fundamental alteration threatens longstanding alliances and can lead to increased global instability, as the U.S. appears to prioritize its own power over collaborative diplomatic relations.
