One month after the second month of Donald Trump as an American president, it became clear all over the world that America’s approach to foreign policy is subject to a major change.
Since the end of World War II, the United States Alliance with the West has been fixed, but with the development of this, those who study history say that the global system we have known for 80 years could be a seismic transformation.
“It is clear that there is deep concern all over the world about this retreat from leadership (by the United States) into a more transactional approach, unilaterally for international relations,” said John Blakand, a professor of international security at the Australian National University.
“This is an unknown area; none of us already lived through anything like this before.”
Many European leaders were amazed earlier this month when the US Vice President, the US Vice President, told the public, “There is a new sheriff in the city under the leadership of Donald Trump” and warned governments against the internal threats of democracy, “There is a new mayor in the city under the leadership of Donald Trump “and governments have warned of the internal threats of democracy,” such as the abolition of elections and control, which constitute greater threats to their countries from external opponents such as China And Russia.
“The threat that I feel more anxious than others in Europe is not Russia, it is not China, it is not any other external actor,” Vans said at the Munich Security Conference.
“What I fear is the threat from within – Europe’s decline in some of its most important values, and common values with the United States of America.”
A few days later, Trump seemed to oppose a path on the country’s support for Ukraine, and he adopted a hostile speech that reminds us of wrong information often by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

During a previous press conference, when asked why Ukraine was not included in the US-Russia talks, Trump accused Ukraine not only of avoiding the end of negotiation of war but also at its start.
“Today I heard,” Oh, well, we did not call. Well, I was there for three years. It should have ended it for three years (since). He said, “You never started.”
Historian Andrew Gotherab says the past few weeks have been a “very important moment” with serious effects on the rest of the world.
“For the first time there is a dispute in the Western alliance,” said a professor of the University of Liden in an interview with Global News from his home in Leiden.
“It seems certain that Trump’s dream is to join Vladimir Putin in reinforcing the security order in Europe and re -drawing the international system in Europe.”
Gawthorpe says you must return to the late 1940s to find a relatively important historical time.
“After World War II, the United States has accepted that it would play a prominent role in supporting this global regime and supporting security in Europe as well. This is when the United States has always sent forces to Europe for the first time.” He said.
“Trump wants to back down from this. He believes that he was contracts and contracts from the rest of the world benefiting from the United States.”
What this means for the international community has become the sudden focus of scientists and governments all over the world.
“I think everyone is looking for a plan for now,” said Blacksaland.
“Everyone is trying to think,” well, what now? “
Donald Hevlin, an older colleague at the University of Tatst and a former American diplomat, believes that institutions such as the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and NATO are strong enough to survive in the next four years.
((The United States) is a very important player. Are we indispensable or can these alliances accomplish the work? I think the latter. Hevlin said: “I think they will survive.”
“Although there may be some bad things that occur over the next three or four years, it will be great that these institutions be stronger during that time to deal with them.”
Heflin believes to protect these institutions and alliances in the interest of the United States as well.
“It was a more peaceful and more stable world, due to the hard work of all member countries in those institutions.”
Blaxland and Gawthorpe say that the weak Western alliance will be considered an opportunity for China to expand its influence around the world.
“This is a great opening for China,” said Blacksaland. “This is an opportunity for China to say,” See, America, what is it? What do you hold on us? principles? Soft power? Moral power? International rules? It was all thrown into the air. “
“We will live in a world with three great great powers in the United States, Russia and China,” said Gaochorp.
“We will see more and more that small countries do not listen to their voices and that they are determined to the will of these great powers.”
Countries like Canada and those suspects in Gawthorpe will have a few cards to play.
“The international rules, laws, and institutions that gave them a voice and gave them an influence in global affairs, apparently wetness, replaced by this powerful rule,” said GATTORP.
“I think we are heading to a world of greater instability and the inability to predict. (To say) We are heading towards war very pessimistic, but we can say that the situation worldwide has become more controversial.”
