Even the Danes are angry. Danes!

To Donald Trump, the idea of diplomatic spots between Denmark and the United States would sound external. Even more than many of his European peers, Denmark has historically put up a prize on her union with the United States. For example, during the George W. Bush administration it was One of five Western European countries Subscribe to the “coalition of those who want the war in Iraq (together with the UK, Spain, the Netherlands and Italy). Of these five, only Denmark and UK actually made a military contribution It was more than symbolic.
Considering this story, it is the only achievement of Trump’s foreign policy that he had previously succeeded: to make the Danes crash.
On Wednesday, Foreign Minister of Denmark provoke Mark Stari, the chief American diplomat in Denmark, demanding reports that three Trump’s three associates were caught by trying to ignite the separatist movement in the Danish territory of Greenland. Trump of course has repeatedly called For Greenland’s annexation, the US refuses to exclude military invasion. But it was the first thing that these plans were more than Bluster.
Responding to the Danish government’s anger, the White House official detach CBS News: “We believe that the Danes should calm down.” Good luck in this.
Danish hostility emphasizes that, even more than in the first term, Trump’s diplomacy is now nothing more than a mixture of tireless arrogance, confusion and recklessness. In fact, calling the fact that Trump and his crew do “diplomacy” is not quite right. Instead, they use the world scene to show their trick.
While this kind of bullying can hit the believers at home, it makes the US more and more and more and the nation that still has to reassure the economic and military force, but it cannot be trusted as an ally or even a stable device in world politics.
Current Issue
Danes are not the only foreign government, unnecessarily remote Trump. How The story press notes.
Strong is the second American diplomat, which was called an ally of European NATO this week when the Trump administration stops its approach to foreign policy. France called US Ambassador Charles Kushner to his Ministry of Foreign Affairs after him Sent a letter to French President Emmanuel Macron Claiming that the country did not do enough to combat anti -Semitism.
What Kushner is an ambassador to France is an insult to the main ally. Kushner-and Cupets Rolling (Trump’s father’s son Jared Kushner) and a convicted criminal who has served time for The Sord -School In drawing sex -workers to blackmail your brother.
And on Tuesday Tom Barack, US Ambassador to Turkey, caused even more outrage Telling journalists at a press conference in Lebanon “act civilized” and not be “animistic”. The Union of Journalists in Lebanon secured these comments, noting that they “reflect the colonial advantage in the deep part of the region and are a brazen violation of the most basic principles of diplomatic etiquette.” The company made these comments after meeting with President Lebanon, who apologized to the press for these comments. In front of the backlash and the barracks itself apologized Thursday.
Choir’s behavior of barracks and other diplomats reflect the president’s behavior. Surprisingly, even if Trump wants to make a deal, as it seems when it comes to ending the war in Ukraine/Russia, he is unable to make careful interaction with the allies and opponents that are necessary for successful negotiations. Writing in Foreign PolicyProfessor Harvard International Relations Stephen Walt notes:
Trump is a terrible negotiator … He does not prepare, does not have subordinates in advance, and comes to each meeting, not knowing what he wants and where his red lines are. He has no strategy and is not interested in detail, so he just screams.
As we learned during his first term, when he spent time at those irrelevant meetings with the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, all Trump really craves attention in combination with the dramatic visual effects that he believes. The essence of any transaction he may conclude is secondary, if not insignificant, and so some trading agreements he recent less favorable for the US than It claims.
Trump’s arrogant approach rises, harms America’s reputation, especially among previous allies. Cope Survey of global public opinion Released in June Shows that in the mony counters, there is “No confidence” in that United States will do the right things in the world affairs: in the Canada the “No Confidence” Kingdom 62 Percent, In Greece 63 Percent, In The Netherlands 77 Percent, In France 78 Percent, In Spain 80 Percent, In Germany 81 Percent, In Turkey 80 Percent, In Sweden 85 Percent, In South Korea 67 Percent And in Mexico 91 percent.
Writing for Project syndicate In June, Achary, Professor of International Relations at the American University in Washington, Columbia District, The opposite was arguing that the damage to America’s reputation will exceed Trump’s current administration:
Some may hope that the alienation of the US allies may be abolished with the next administration. Don’t put it on it. No matter how Trump’s tariff war is underway, the West’s idea is already done. As the President of the European Commission Ursula von der leyenPlace“The West, as we knew, no longer exists.” The strange return of the liberal party in Canada shows the depth of this country against the US. Relationships that have been crushed overnight will take years to recover.

Earlier allies in America should confront that Trump does not leave. Trump was selected more than once, but twice. The Republican Party was converted in its image, and it has many heirs who are ready to occupy a mantle. Future Republican presidents, whether it is JD Vance or Ron Trooper or Another Figure, will follow in the footsteps of Trump. Even more disturbing is the fact that the Democrats themselves took a few strands of America, as Joe Biden saw Increasing competition with China and to undermines international law In defense of the horrible war of Israel in Gaza.
The United States is increasingly behaving like a superpowered robber. One of the great questions in the coming decades will be how long the world will carry this behavior, or whether the alliances that are exposed to the US authorities.

President, Nation

Many non -white communities have increased the president’s support. He is still aimed at them.
Rob Bonta, California Prosecutor General, uses Trump to strengthen the courts, and still works mostly.
The president, aimed at the governor of the Federal Reserve on the occasion of the technical connection, brazenly motivated.
The best counteraction to Trump’s authoritarianism is a new commitment to ensure a complete representative democracy in Washington.
Freedom of expression of the word is a cornerstone of democracy, and any attempt to suppress it should be resisted. This FELIPE Galindo Feggo’s work, published widely, was highlighted …
