Text of Irene Benedict
in alone one year since his return to the White House, Donald Trump has given him the return to the international board at the stroke of a unilateral decision, eroding consensus that for decades had served as an—imperfect—framework for global politics.
Under the law of the strongest, his second presidency has normalized the departure of multilateral organizationsthe use of economic and military pressure as a political tool and a reading of the world where power replaces right.
This logic goes through different scenarios—from Latin America a Near East— and although it claims to have ended multiple wars, its intervention in third countries emulates a authoritarian logic that also shines through at home: persecution of protesters and journalists, contempt for international law and a diplomacy of script twists, in which the influence of atypical allies for an unrecognizable United States, such as Russia itself, shines through.
The result is not only a change of alliances, but a deeper transformation: the consolidation of a system in which the US stops arbitrating and imposing. This is the new world (dis)order, imposed by Donald Trump.
