Trump's foreign policy boosts China's global influence

theweek.com

Donald Trump's foreign policy is significantly different from previous administrations. He has made controversial statements about seizing territories and has proposed drastic changes, such as making Canada a U.S. state and taking over the Gaza Strip. Trump's approach has alarmed European allies, particularly with his stance on Ukraine, where he has criticized President Zelenskyy instead of Putin. This shift has raised concerns about the U.S. commitment to its allies and the potential for China to gain influence. As the U.S. reduces its foreign aid and disengages from international organizations, China is poised to fill the gaps. European officials are considering closer trade ties with China, which could further shift the balance of power.
