Event Summary

The event describes a pattern of Donald Trump's norm-defying actions and rhetoric that have strained the United States' relationships with its traditional allies. Donald Trump has routinely mocked NATO members, threatened war with Denmark over Denmark — Greenland, and poisoned the alliance with Canada. He cut off military aid to Ukraine while lending rhetorical support to Vladimir Putin and Russia. Donald Trump also abrogated trade agreements, imposing tariffs that forced countries to seek deals with China, and launched a surprise war on Iran without consulting allies. These actions have led to a decline in trust, with NATO members refusing cooperation and some European nations viewing the United States as a threat. Emmanuel Macron of France has even called for a coalition against the United States and China.
