In his second term, Donald Trump is reshaping foreign policy by eliminating long-standing pretenses regarding America's global dominance, its relationships, and the geopolitical landscape. He dismisses outdated notions about overwhelming U.S. power and the strength of European allies, exposing stark realities: America's overstretch, European governance failures, and the complexities of the Ukraine conflict. Notions of solid partnerships and assured military support for Ukraine are challenged as the world moves toward a necessity of compromise with authoritarian regimes. The article argues this shift is essential for reevaluating U.S. and allied strategies moving forward.
Trump's approach to foreign policy dismantles long-held pretenses about America's global role, confronting harsh realities of overstretch and the need for alliance recalibration.
The notion that America's European allies are equal and robust partners is shattered; their governance, demographic crises, and military capacities have severely declined under an illusion of strength.
