tDonald Trump is here many times Can offer state and royal visits It will soften his political tantrums. With his latest attack on Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the halt of aid to Ukraine, it is already clear that even the offer of a night bed in Balmoral is not working.
I hope that the silver lining of the Trump experience over the past two weeks will lead to understanding not only the meaning of this narcissistic, bullying, corporate thug reelection, but also the role the United States has played for generations. Trump and his gang members JD Vance and Elon Musk are just some of the most glimpse into the US global policy pursued for at least a century.
In 1992, Noam Chomsky published a bestseller booklet. What Uncle Sam really wants. Chomsky's reading may help workers' policymakers overcome their obvious naiveness, which is anxiously shown in constant references to the special relationship between the UK and the US.
Trump's “America First” policy is a more explicit clarification of the role the United States has pursued worldwide since at least World War II. For decades, the United States has had no concern about supporting, dealing with, and sometimes setting up authoritarian regimes like Vladimir Putin around the world. Dividing Ukraine and its natural resources into Putin is little different to what the US administration did in Latin America and Africa using economic and military forces.
What surprised European political leaders and commentators is that this is the first time a US president has done so in European soil since Franklin D. Roosevelt carved Europe with Stalin.

Our political leaders continue to seek to exploit fiction of special relationships, avoid direct diplomatic conflict with the US, feed Trump and extract all the concessions they can, but at best this is time to buy. That time should be used wisely.
Of course, in the short term, there is a fundamental role played by European leaders to prevent the imposition of peace that Trump and Putin is imposed against Ukraine's wishes. If Ukraine is not betrayed and stable peace is ensured, it is essential to confront Trump and Vance's bullying behavior to secure a place for Europe and Zelensky at the negotiation table.
During a pre-planned robbery in the oval office last Friday, Trump told Zelenskyy he had no cards to play in these negotiations. That may have worked for Trump's base for now, but Vance in particular knows that photos of Russian tanks have swayed into Kiev as a result of the US withdrawal in support of Ukraine. Trump's cult vans could depend on four years in the post-Trump election.
But in the long run, it is clear that Trump's actions since reelection were praised for his nauseous, rog haughty speech to Congress on Tuesday night, and that it is clear that the actions since reelection are debating on the political agenda of Europe and the global South, which are the political and economics that we are actively present, and what alternatives to China's active self-esteem.
There is an opening for a much larger, longer, myopia “rejoiced coalition” that can connect Europe with the global South.
This includes the economic cooperation agenda that is mutually beneficial rather than based on the tariffs and protectionism of the wealthy, and address both grotesque inequality between the north and south and the general threat of a climate emergency.
The United States is an increasingly marginalized country and continent with novel aid and punitive tariffs, which presents great diplomatic opportunities for the Kier Starme government. Some say it's a chance to PM to make his mark in history.
The wise and immoral plan to cut UK foreign aid and undermine soft power is a kind of heritage, but how good it would be to use our influence and weight to bring together all those who want to sort the world without the malicious influence of Trump and China. It will truly be a place in history worth having.
