TThe episode left a mark, since the attempt was as bold as its impact was almost null, if not counterproductive. Duration in his first term, Donald Trump had been pressed to find a commitment to the North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-un, to free his country of nuclear weapons. The initiative resulted in some memorable scenes: Trump climbed to the floor of the dishonest state, walking in the demilitarized area between the two Koreas, in June 2019; Three summits with the ruler of Pyongyang; And the scheme of an unlikely and vague “agreement” to denuclearcence of the Peninsula, which is not used anywhere.
At that time, without an advance in the fundamentals of the agreement, Trump, an amateur diplomat who is more expert in handling rhetorical dynamite, quickly moves away from the problem. This allowed the North Korean regime to continue along its path, to the point where it is now the most committed ally of Russia Ukraine, with its troops that reinforce those of Russia in the Kursk region.
Less than three months after his return to the White House, Trump seems to be the only one who has forgotten this attempt. To “make the United States again,” has intensified its diplomatic movements, in a world where their actions now threaten to exacerbate the disorder.
Trump shows little consideration by multilateral institutions, such as the United Nations and their agencies. He has retired to the United States from the World Health Organization. He has trampled the rules of international law, as evidenced by his proposal to empty the Gaza Strip of its population, or simply annex it and transform it into a “Rivera”. Throughout the world, the freezing of American aid funds has caused chaos among US partners, governments and NGOs.
His hesitation in tariffs has demonstrated this, as well as threats against Canada and Greenland. Trump is perversely pleased to press his allies, in the name of defending the interests of the United States. He favors the “strong men” who lead shameless powers, either the Saudi heir prince Mohammed Bin Salman or Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
