Trump's Foreign Policy Estrangement

Under Donald Trump's presidency, the traditional alliances with Western democratic countries experienced significant strain, as he frequently criticized historical allies like Canada, the UK, and Germany while praising authoritarian leaders such as Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. This shift marked a departure from cooperative international relationships, with Trump promoting a narrative that disregarded the values of free press, democracy, and human rights. Rather than asserting strategic partnerships, Trump's administration often fostered a perception that aligning with non-democratic regimes was preferable, leading to a questioning of the U.S.'s commitment to its long-standing alliances. This evolving dynamic has implications for how the U.S. is viewed globally and raises concerns about future cooperation with other countries that share democratic values.
