to be the new head of North American diplomacy. The information is being passed on by the New York Times newspaper. About Germano Almeida says that the idea that the elected President “this time would be more open, more diverse and more rational in his choices, is wrong”.
“Donald Trump maintains the idea of obedience and loyalty to his choices and will be an Administration very much on the ‘American First’ agenda, denialism regarding climate change and, above all, something that is a little disturbing, but had already happened in Trump’s first presidency, which is: he appoints people to agencies or institutions who are against those agencies or those institutions.
Lee Zeldin for the Environment Agency is someone who has an anti-environmental agenda. Alice Stephic for the UN, is someone who considers the UN to be an organization with an anti-Semitic propensity and defends the end of the agency that supports Palestinian refugees”, highlights the SIC commentator.
About Marco Rubiowho may become responsible for North American diplomacy, Germano Almeida explains that “He has a very aggressive position in the rivalry with China and is very ‘hawkish’ against Iran. This is a vision that is in line with Trump’s position.”
From this perspective, it is expected that Trump continues his attempt to contain China’s rise and, from Iran’s point of view, reinforces the idea that they will be very much on Israel’s side.
“In relation to Ukraine, in relation to Marco Rubio, there are some doubts, I think that Trump will want to present himself as a President of peace and that he has imposed peace not only on Ukraine, but also on Russia.”
Germano Almeido admits that, on this issue, there are two sensibilities: one of isolationism and quickly ending the war with aid to Ukraine, which is from JD Vance, and one of more peace through force, which is from some close advisors to Trump, of conditioning aid to Ukraine , instead of helping Ukraine regain territory – “Force it to move towards taking peace, but also force Russia to wage further aggression on Ukraine.”
As for The issue of Trump’s phone call with Putin remains to be clarified. “It’s a more serious situation than it seems”says the SIC commentator.
“Donald Trump has not yet been sworn into office, but as President-elect he already has some kind of status and so it’s not that it’s totally out of the norm for him to have already spoken to Putin, but in order to speak to Putin, he has to have some kind of status. of coordination with the current administration (…) if it wasn’t, it’s a bad sign and the very doubt, after all this time, whether there was a phone call or not, should cause us concern”, highlights Germano Almeida.
