Trump's Second-Term Foreign Policy Impact
Donald Trump's second presidential term has dramatically reshaped global dynamics through sweeping policy reversals that experts say are creating opportunities for China and Russia to expand their influence.
INTERNATIONAL WITHDRAWALS: The US has withdrawn from the World Health Organization, UN Human Rights Council, and Paris Climate Agreement, disappointing world leaders.
AID CUTS: The administration ended over 90% of USAID foreign aid contracts, affecting humanitarian projects across Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, Europe, and Ukraine.
MEDIA FUNDING: Cuts to Radio Free Europe and Voice of America signal retreat from soft power projection.
EXPERT ANALYSIS
Alliance Dismantling: Angela Stent of the Brookings Institution warns Trump is "consciously dismantling" the successful 80-year alliance system built by the US, calling it "wonderful news for Putin."
SECURITY IMPLICATIONS: Ruth Deyermond from King's College London notes it's now conceivable to discuss NATO states potentially defending Canada from US actions, showing how rapidly America's role has shifted from ally to potential threat.
CHINA'S GAINS: Experts suggest the "America First" approach inadvertently strengthens China's sphere of influence in Canada, Panama, and South American countries previously aligned with the US.
IMPACT ON UKRAINE WAR
SHARED WORLDVIEW: Stent observes that, unlike previous presidents, Trump "shares the Putin view" of global politics, fundamentally altering US-Russia dynamics.
PUTIN'S VICTORY: Deyermond argues Putin has achieved his goal of "weakening America" and benefiting from a US government that now speaks "Russia's language."
WAR CRIMES ACCOUNTABILITY: The US re-imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court, stopped funding Yale's humanitarian research lab documenting Russian deportations of Ukrainian children, and withdrew from the International Centre for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine.
GLOBAL CONSEQUENCES
Trust Erosion: Legal experts warn that America is "not a trusted party anymore," with the administration's actions undermining global faith in US governance.
AUTHORITARIAN LICENSE: Kirsty Sutherland of the IBA War Crimes Committee fears American behaviour is "giving licence to all the other demagogues around the world," creating dangerous precedents for democratic backsliding globally.
The overall assessment suggests Trump's policies are accelerating a fundamental shift in global power dynamics. Traditional US allies are reconsidering their security arrangements, while authoritarian powers capitalize on American retreat from international leadership.
