US EditionAnalysis: Trump’s Foreign Policy Frustrations Are Piling Up
- Donald Trump’s foreign policy faced growing challenges during and after his presidency, especially regarding key global powers by 2025.
- His 'America First' populism, based on claims the US was exploited for decades, shaped his approach but failed to democratize the Arab world or sustain trade de-escalations.
- Early in his presidency, Trump issued tariff threats, territorial expansion warnings, and cut global humanitarian aid while international leaders resisted or ignored his policies.
- Financial Times commentator Robert Armstrong coined the term TACO trade, meaning 'Trump Always Chickens Out,' highlighting Trump's wavering on tariffs as mocked by Russian media.
- These developments weakened U.S. soft power, frustrated efforts to resolve conflicts like Ukraine and the Middle East, and suggest persistent unresolved geopolitical tensions.
