Trump's 100 days: Decisions stirred the world, tariff war upset his own people; America left Ukraine

News Topical,Digital Desk : Donald Trump has completed 100 days in the White House in his second term as President. He is the US President who started an unprecedented tariff war, cut US foreign aid, denounced NATO allies, agreed with Russia's view on the invasion of Ukraine and expressed his intention to annex Greenland to the US, take back the Panama Canal and make Canada the 51st state.

In these 'chaotic' hundred days he has overturned parts of the rules-based world order that the US helped build after World War II.

Trump is now more radical than he was eight years ago

"Trump is more radical now than he was eight years ago. I'm shocked," said Elliott Abrams, who served under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush before being appointed special U.S. envoy on Iran and Venezuela during Trump's first term.

Trump's second-term "America First" agenda has alienated friends and emboldened adversaries, raising questions about how far he is willing to go.

Trump's decisions made the world restless

His actions and uncertainty have so unnerved some governments that they are taking steps that may be difficult to reverse, even if a more traditional president is elected in the US in 2028.

"What we're seeing is a huge disruption in world affairs. At this point, no one is quite sure what to make of what's happening or what will happen next," said Dennis Ross, a former Middle East negotiator for Democratic and Republican administrations.

Trump fired several officials

This assessment of Trump's changes to the global system is drawn from interviews by Reuters with more than a dozen current and former government officials, foreign diplomats and independent analysts in Washington and capitals around the world.

Trump is unlikely to change

Many say some of the damage already done could be long-lasting. In fact, Trump is unlikely to change much and he expects many countries to make permanent changes to their relationships with the United States. The impact has already begun.

Some European allies are angry with America

For example, some European allies are looking to boost their own defense industries to reduce their dependence on U.S. weapons. In South Korea, the debate over developing its own nuclear arsenal has intensified. There is speculation that deteriorating relations could prompt U.S. partners to move closer to China, at least economically.
