It has been a year since Donald Trump took office for a second term. Over the last twelve months, he has unleashed chaos, uncertainty and fear – mainly on the many friends and allies that the US has around the globe.
Many assumed that Trump’s main focus would be on using American military, economic and political power to reshape the emerging new world order. Over the last year, though, Trump has humiliated Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office, cut weapons supplies to Kyiv and told Ukrainians that they do not have any card to play when it comes to Russia – while actively encouraging Putin to press his advantage, confident that Washington would neither restrain him nor stand in his way.
