How Trump is already reshaping US Foreign Policy

On 20 January 2025, Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, marking the start of his second term. His return to the White House has reignited global debate over his foreign policy approach, which promises to be as polarising as his first presidency. From plans to withdraw from NATO and the Paris Climate Agreement to escalating tensions with Mexico and Denmark, Trump’s aggressive "America First" doctrine is set to reshape global relations. His bold rhetoric on military intervention in Mexico, control over Greenland, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico underscores his intent to assert American dominance at any cost. Additionally, his administration’s hardline measures, such as re-designating Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism and threatening major tariffs on international trade, signal a profound shift in U.S. global engagement. This video explores Trump’s early actions, including withdrawing from the WHO and appointing Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, and analyses their potential ramifications. Will Trump’s policies foster American sovereignty or alienate key allies? What do his plans mean for NATO, Ukraine, and U.S. leadership in tackling climate change? Join us as we dive deep into the challenges and opportunities of Trump’s second term and its implications for world politics. *MY LATEST BOOK!* Secession and State Creation: What Everyone Needs to Know Oxford University Press https://global.oup.com/academic/product/secession-and-state-creation-9780190494049 Amazon https://amzn.to/2MPY3W2 Audiobooks.com https://www.audiobooks.co.uk/audiobook/secession-and-state-creation-what-everyone-needs-to-know/637281 *SUPPORT THE CHANNEL* Hello and welcome!
