El orden mundial estadounidense se está desmoronando

Trump cree en un mundo sin aliados, solo satélites, donde el poder reside exclusivamente en EEUU Leer

In recent weeks, the United States' global order appears to be unraveling. On August 16, President Donald Trump announced a substantial reduction in joint military exercises with South Korea. Then, on August 19, he unveiled a plan called "Economic Marginalization Operation" against Iran, aiming to cut off the economic supply channels sustaining the Iranian regime.

Subsequently, on August 21, trade negotiations between the US and Canada broke down after the Americans presented new demands limiting Canada's freedom to sign trade agreements with other countries. Finally, on August 28, Trump announced the "Largest Oil Deal in History", granting the US 55% control of production from a new Venezuelan oil company developing 17 fields with a proven 65 billion barrel potential.

This flurry of activities over just two weeks reveals the type of world Trump envisions: one without allies, where the US can do as it pleases, whenever and wherever it wishes, driven by power, and convinced that only he wields the sole power.
