Donald Trump was too distracted playing emperor. Meanwhile, the EU and India just sealed a deal he never saw coming

Of late, Donald Trump has been trying too hard to live upto his dictator title by proposing to annex one country after another. In the first week of January, Trump’s military, under his orders, effectively abducted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on narcoterrorism charges. Following this, he has sometimes subtly and sometimes not so much expressed a desire to “run” Venezuela while also using its vast oil reserves to serve American interests.

Venezuela is not the only country Trump has his eyes set on; he is also kind of obsessed with Greenland at the moment and has explicitly shown interest in owning it. In fact, recently, he waged a war on all the nations that opposed his ownership dreams of Greenland by threatening to increase tariffs and taking other necessary measures. However, instead of being scared by his intimidation tactics, these nations are forming alliances among themselves, which definitely isn’t sitting too well with Donald Trump.
