In the article published in the Financial Times, “United States of America has become the enemy of the West” Author Martin Wolf illuminates radical changes in American foreign policy during the Second Mandate of the President Donald Trump.
Wolf, the main economic analyst, pointed out that Trump administration left its traditional role of the global order and instead adopted an insulating approach based on interests, which led to Russia’s unaiding appropriation.
The article analyzes three main events from the past two weeks, which indicate this deep change of Pete Hegset’s military support, then criticized the European democracy and in the end of Trump’s direct negotiations with Russia on the future of Ukraine, ignoring European Allies and Ukrainian leadership.
Turn
According to the article, Hegseth is 12. February at NATO’s meeting regarding Ukraine said that the United States are no longer interested in European security, but focused on the protection of their own borders and opposition to China.
In this context, the predominant opinion was entered in the article that the United States provides greater support to Ukraine from the European Allies. The author of the article refers to the Institute for the World Economics of Kiel, according to which the total assistance of Europe Ukraine surpasses American.
The article also referred to the statements of JD Vance during the Munich Security Conference on 14. February, when he expressed concerns about the “decline in democratic values” in Europe, citing the Romanian government decision to annul the results of the last elections. The author of the article believes that such a criticism was somewhat hypocritical because Trump himself tried to annul the results of the American presidential elections 2020. Years.
What is most dangerous, according to the article, Trumps are secret negotiations with Russia on the future of Ukraine without the involvement of any European ally, and even Ukrainian leadership. Hegseth previously said that Ukraine would not regain their internationally recognized borders or will be allowed to join NATO, which is an obvious American relaxation before Moscow’s requests.
According to the article, these negotiations are conducted unilaterally, while the European countries are responsible for ensuring the implementation of any agreement achieved. The author of the article believes that this turn marks the collapse of the concept of the “united west”, which dominated the end of World War II.
Trump access
In addition, the article states that the Trump Administration has economically used the situation in Ukraine, as the United States of Ukraine is 50 percent of its resources for previous military assistance, without providing any guarantees for support in the future, which Ukraine recently agreed.
The author considers that this approach reflects Trump’s perceive of the Russian-Ukrainian war exclusively through the prism of trade interests, instead of looking at him as a strategic or moral issue.
At the end of Article Wolf warned that the United States with Trump Administration is no longer a guarantor of the existing global order, but a force that is indifferent to the fate of its traditional allies. He emphasized that Europe must accept this new reality by strengthening internal cooperation and increasing the allocation for the defense, otherwise will become prone to the disintegration and domination of the Large Powers, writes FT, reports to Alaese.
