While attacking the liberal order with varied thrusts, including the newly announced, the president of,, giving signs that in the new world order he intends to preside, American interests are first, but not to the point of disrespecting the influence zones of the great powers.
Under the belief that the international system is unfair and harms Americans, the Republican President has adopted serial taxes, inspiring little encouraging predictions of economists and governments of various trends.
The picture will only get worse with international reactions. A, set aside in geopolitics, put a climb of retaliation on the table, which aims to banks and Big Techs from the US. China, one of the hardest hit, also nods with significant answers.
Brazil, with modest commerce, was hit with barriers to its products, but in the “floor” of 10%. Apparently, within the scenario, it is an administrable level. The country may even have advantages, but reciprocity legislation has been approved. How and if it will be called it is not known. It is up to the government to react rationally, as responsible and effective as possible, as it has been doing so far, by the way.
Parallel to customs barriers, Trump throws threats to Canada and Panama and says he will take hold of Greenland. The autocratic populist presents himself, in another sense, as an advocate of a Pro-Russian agreement in the case of Ukraine and does not seem to create problems for China regarding a possible Taiwan permanent take.
To complete this geopolitical framework like “each autocrat takes care of its backyard,” suggests the cleaning of Gaza and seal the colonization of the West Bank by Israel. If Unconditional US support to Israeli governments is not new, it is now, in practice, the full abandonment of the idea of two states in favor of the Israeli imposition from Rio to the sea-and the perspective of a wake with Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries.
This is Trump’s new world order. Threatening and simultaneously the sharing of zones of influence with and, while Europe, abandoned, debates in a difficult position.
That such attacks on free trade, multilateral institutions, liberal order, and democracy from the US is a new reality to challenge the predictability and already precarious stability of a world that has lost its parameters.
Among so many uncertainties there seems to be doubt that the ghost of authoritarianism, competitive or not, surrounds democracies under the aegis of this hostile and irresponsible government. It is amazing that this set of measures reaches the peak on a propagated “Liberation Day”.
Trump’s election was greeted by exponents from the international right – the Sao Paulo Bolsonarist Governor’s case, Tarcísio de Freitas, who posted embarrassing image. The US -elected performance now seems difficult to defend even among ideological supporters. How would the nationalism of Ultra -right populist movements support decisions contrary to their countries, economy and population? The roulette of this new world is in motion and it is not known where it will end up.
