Donald Trump’s performance on the international scenario caused significant worldwide disorganization by questioning rules, rules and behavioral standards established in relations between countries, says former Foreign Minister Celso Lafer, who participated in this Sunday’s special WW (24). For the former chancellor, the impact of these actions extends through different spheres, from peace and war to business relations and human rights.
The analysis highlights how Trump’s posture affected global trade, especially for the implementation of a commercial policy managed from the United States. In addition, the diplomat estimates that Donald Trump has affinities with autocratic regimes, to the detriment of democracies, creating significant consequences for fundamental themes such as human rights and international cooperation.
Challenge to international standards
A crucial aspect of this posture is the resistance to any type of normative restriction, characterizing a approach that Lafer defines as a decision. This guidance manifests itself in the tendency to unilaterally define allies and adversaries, with positions that may vary according to momentary interests.
