Deal diplomacy and US strategic power
The article discusses Donald Trump's foreign policy, which relies on diplomatic deals and is limited to transactional interactions. This approach has led to the erosion of traditional American institutions' standing and created an environment of strategic chaos. Such a stance has weakened the United States' ability to maintain its alliances and international strategy, as allies are increasingly viewed as debtors or commercial partners. Meanwhile, opponents have taken advantage of the vacuum left by the U.S. withdrawal from international agreements and treaties, expanding their influence in regions such as Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe. Additionally, framing security as a negotiable commodity has diminished America's soft power, allowing China, Russia, and Iran to exploit Washington's hesitation to expand their influence amidst growing challenges in Europe, the Middle East, and elsewhere.
