In the country where Trump joins Russia? North Korea, Belarus and Sudan.
The one who stood up? UK, France, Germany, Canada, Italy, Japan and most other parts of the world.
It is hard to think of a stark demonstration that Trump recalibrated the United States’ position in the world in just one month. He positioned the United States as the world’s chief rogue state camp against a country that had been America’s best friend since World War II or before.
The breakdown of the U.S. ties with traditional allies have had a profound impact on the future of U.S. foreign policy. Even if leaders from Poland, France and Britain will travel to Washington this week to try to lure Trump back into this goal, they and their fellow citizens face the reality that he does not share their values or see their priorities The matter is consistent with the interests of the United States. If the United States wants to align with international vagabonds such as Russia and others, it could force Europe, Canada and Asian allies, such as Japan and South Korea, to find alliances on their own. Meanwhile, Trump’s respect for Moscow has allowed Russia to allow diplomatic isolation rooms in Washington and the West, which Russia sought to build in the three years since its full invasion of Ukraine. Susan E. Rice said: “Trump has conducted a Russian bid transparently and unabashedly in this and many other ways, bringing the United States aligned with our opponents and our treaty allies. .” Security consultant. “We all have to ask ourselves why?”
European leaders were shocked and shocked by the U.S. vote at the UN General Assembly on Monday, with Americans coming through the Security Council to propose alternative resolutions rather than blaming the Russian invasion. Under this measure, the United States, China and Russia voted together, while the United Kingdom, France and other European countries abstained.
Even some Republicans, they urgently avoid publicly breaking in with Trump, and even within private derogatory decisions, finally sparked a loud voice.
“The vote at the United Nations today bothers us and it keeps us at the same distance from Russia and North Korea,” Senator John Curtis, R-Utah, wrote on social media. “These are not our friends . This posture is a huge shift in the American ideal of freedom and democracy. We all want to end the war, but it must be achieved in terms of ensuring Ukraine’s sovereignty and security. Territorial ambitions.”
R-Neb. Rep. Don Bacon expressed shock that the president will stand on the side of the invaders. “The Trump administration screwed up in Ukraine today,” he said online. “The vast majority of Americans support independence, freedom and free markets and oppose bullying and invaders.”
Trump’s advisers believe he is launching a complex, sensitive negotiation to end the war, and those who criticize his adoption of the key points of the Russian conversation must oppose the end of Ukraine’s violence. The last president, Joe Biden, did not achieve peace, so Trump had to do better, or reason.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Karoline Leavitt, the president knows how to get a deal better than anyone who has served in the U.S. presidency, and in order to make a deal, you have to bring both parties to the table. ”, said in a briefing Tuesday. “Often, when you make a lot of deals, both parties make that table a little unhappy. ”
But if the purpose is not to alienate Russian President Vladimir Putin when Trump seeks a deal, he is against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s president Ukraine (Volodymyr Zelenskyy) Zelenskyy) said his alienation from the person was not shown. While refusing to criticize Putin or Russia, Trump mistakenly claimed that Ukraine “started” the war and called numerous elected Zelenskyy “a dictator without elections.”
The United States rarely shares common reasons like North Korea and Belarus with rigid Britain and France, which is a matter of importance. In 2023, a State Department report found that among the countries that most voted at the United Nations that year, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and France. The U.S. countries with the least inconsistent U.N. vote include Syria, Nicaragua, Iran, North Korea, China, Cuba, Belarus and Russia.
The main area of the United States usually finds its main allies is the Israel-Palestine conflict, and even if European countries are more often voting for them, the United States mostly opposes resolutions criticizing Israel. The U.N.’s past diplomats said they don’t remember the time when the United States joined Russia and other outliers had such an important issue.
“When I was ambassador of the United Nations, if I received instructions from the State Department and the White House to hang our European allies, with Russia, North Korea and Belarus, Neiss said: “It was hacked and destroyed our communications system. ”
Trump does not care outside of global consensus. He hosted French President Emmanuel Macron this week without obvious hatred, although the visiting leader tried to gently coax him to be more alert to Russia and more willing to defend Ukraine’s security. Trump smiled, shook hands, and seemed to be motionless at all.
He will host another session at the White House on Thursday, presided over British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, which will further test the new reality of the Atlantic Alliance as British leaders try to convey the importance of Europe standing with the United States sex. But European officials have not brought great hope for success.
The reality is that Trump has not been offended by leaders such as North Korea’s Putin and Kim Jong-un. He has always expressed admiration for the dictator. After he left the White House in 2021, on the wall of his office in Marago, he was happy to hang a photo of himself with a ruthless dictator Kim, suppression, forced abortion and forced sterilization and other violations of human rights.
Other presidents have become common reasons for the national interest with the concessions of realistic policies with unpleasant figures and states, but usually without much enthusiasm, usually not at the expense of close allies. Trump is willing to go further than most of his exes.
At a press conference with Macron, the president presented Saudi Arabia’s crown prince Mohammed bin Salman. The CIA called the prince a killer, and reported that he ordered the brutal murder and dismemberment of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump calls the prince “a wonderful young man” and he is “great respect around the world.”
Trump hasn’t had such praise for Zelenskyy recently, the leader of a democracy invaded by the dictatorship. As Trump envisions, Ukraine is not part of the United States. While the United States is the only seven-country group to vote on the UN resolution, Trump is effectively forming a new club in Moscow, Minsk and Pyongyang, rather than London, Paris and Berlin.
