Will US foreign policy be completely dismantled?

Trump's views and methods differ from those of the traditional American political elite, which prioritizes material interests and relegates international law and traditional diplomacy to second place.

Experts have different opinions on whether to weaken or strengthen US global leadership, but Trump's actions are certain to lead to significant changes in relations with Europe, Russia and China.

Political scientists who were guests of the "Geopolitics" project expressed their opinions on the topic.

Why is Trump dethroning the US from the throne of global power?

— Kamoliddin Rabbimov: America's founding fathers formed the US as a national federal state. That is, America's intervention in world affairs occurred after the First World War, and its rise to world power occurred after the Second World War, as well as the formation of a complete monopolistic power in the world - after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Since the emergence of mankind, the empires and powerful states that have ruled the world have always been located on the Eurasian continent, for example, Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Amir Temur and Genghis Khan. After the 1990s, for the first time in human history, the capital that ruled the world moved to another continent, namely North America.

Donald Trump is not accepted by the political elite. In particular, the Republicans are working with him out of resentment, because according to the rules of the American democratic game, it was he who came to power. No one expected him to be elected president for the second time. This means that Americans are tired of global politics, they believe that as a result of the US's interference in world politics and the allocation of trillions of dollars, domestic affairs are being left behind. That is why Biden allocated $2-3 trillion for America's domestic infrastructure when he came to power.

It is extremely difficult to predict what this experiment by Trump will end up with for the American empire that has been formed so far. But this will be a huge blow to the established relations, this is a huge dismantling. If America abandons the leadership model in global games, we do not know what the new model will be. Will America return home completely?

Currently, China is offering to finance itself in the regions that USAID is leaving. Putin is also very happy about this, and his press secretary Peskov also addresses Trump with deep respect. Donald Trump is the only head of state in the history of the country who did not interfere in state affairs or serve in the army for a single minute before becoming president and who came to power in this way. Until now, there have been elected presidents, governors, ministers, and this or that politician. And Trump, having come to power, is denying the rules of the game that they have formed so far.

— Shukhrat Rasulov: Trump's main difference from the presidents elected before him in America is that Trump does not think in political terms and does not understand them, does not take into account and does not understand the norms of international law, and the most important thing for him is material interests. These three aspects distinguish Trump from other presidents. In four years, America's future leaders will have to spend a lot of political, economic and spiritual energy to restore this beacon.

Trump is currently implementing a number of changes in both domestic and foreign policy. Trump, calling his actions economic reforms, has begun to dismantle the state machine. These reforms, in turn, can cost America dearly.

— Kamoliddin Rabbimov: Even after Trump leaves power, his supporters are likely to remain in power. According to American law, a person who becomes president must be born only on American soil. Elon Musk was born in South Africa and declared war on South Africa. He has his own ambitions to become president, and by becoming president, he wants to change American law. According to reports, after Donald Trump leaves power, his supporters Elon Musk, Marco Rubio and others may become new presidential candidates.

— Oybek Sirojov: Trump's goal is not to reduce America's global power, but to further strengthen it. The fact that he uses values ​​and methods that are not traditional for America in this way seems a bit arrogant to those around him. If we talk about healthy competition, experts predicted that by 2030-2035, China will surpass the United States in many indicators. The Trump administration is using its own methods to contain China. Each of these approaches is aimed at ensuring America's global power.

As many experts have noted, only time will tell how successful his policy will be. There is one more important aspect here, and that is the alliance between Russia and China. Today, it is important whether Russia and China can effectively use such an American policy by forming an alliance or vice versa. In addition, Trump's real plans and goals are now obvious to everyone.

— Abduvali Sayibnazarov: As the new head of the Pentagon emphasized, America does not want to limit its interests, but to expand them, not to rely solely on isolationism, but on a new approach to pacify China and Russia, that is, to separate them and prevent them from becoming allies, because China is one of the countries that can pose a threat to US global leadership. In addition, an association of countries similar to the BRICS has emerged, and the US is trying to prevent the global south from uniting and limiting its sphere of influence.

Have the US and Europe's positions on Ukraine become unbalanced?

— Kamoliddin Rabbimov: In fact, their positions were not the same before, and now America and Europe are at odds with each other in the face of Russia. There are two important countries in the European Union, these are France and Germany.

France has always distrusted the Anglo-Saxons and has been in a position to keep both the US and Britain at a distance, and has maintained this position until now. There were years when the French leadership from time to time abandoned some NATO military projects, emphasizing that it was necessary to trust not in America, but in itself.

With the arrival of Donald Trump, this division will become even stronger, and today there may be not two poles, but 3-4 poles in NATO. Yesterday, Trump first talked with Putin for 1.5 hours, and then with Zelensky for a much shorter time. Now Zelensky is in a difficult situation, because he does not want to clash with Trump. His team is using diplomatic means to protect Ukraine. As noted, Trump prefers to talk to powerful people. But the next day, his position began to soften. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
