How Trump's 'America First' is upending the world order

The Senate has backed a resolution that allows President Donald Trump to continue military actions in Venezuela without prior congressional notification, following a tie-breaking vote by Senator J.D. Vance. This resolution defeats efforts to limit the president's war powers regarding Venezuela, where tensions have escalated significantly.

President Trump is facing limitations in his military options regarding Iran due to a significant military buildup in the Caribbean, which has diverted resources away from the Middle East. U.S. officials maintain that adequate military assets remain in the region to conduct strikes if necessary.

A global survey conducted by the European Council on Foreign Relations indicates that Donald Trump's America-first policy is perceived as enhancing China's global standing rather than strengthening the United States. The survey reveals that traditional adversaries of the U.S. feel less threatened, while allies, particularly in Europe, express growing distance from the U.S. leadership.

U.S. President Donald Trump recently described a positive conversation with Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodriguez, signaling a potential shift in U.S. policy towards the post-Maduro leadership. This dialogue comes amid ongoing tensions and U.S. sanctions against the Maduro regime, as Trump emphasizes the importance of political concessions and access to Venezuela's oil resources.

Recent discussions have seen U.S. officials, including President Donald Trump, assert the necessity of acquiring Greenland for national security, leading to a rejection of this claim by envoys from Greenland and Denmark, who plan further talks. Trump's comments have raised concerns among Greenland's residents, particularly children, about the implications of U.S. intentions.

Talks between U.S., Danish, and Greenlandic officials have failed to resolve a significant disagreement regarding the future governance of Greenland, with President Donald Trump asserting the island's importance for U.S. national security. Trump emphasized that Denmark cannot be relied upon to protect Greenland, suggesting a need for U.S. control over the territory.

Denmark has acknowledged a 'fundamental disagreement' with former President Donald Trump regarding Greenland, despite engaging in high-level discussions with U.S. officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. This ongoing tension highlights the complexities surrounding U.S. interests in the territory.

The United States and the United Kingdom are withdrawing some personnel from a military base in Qatar as a precautionary measure amid rising tensions with Iran. This decision coincides with President Donald Trump's consideration of potential military action against Iran following a violent crackdown on protests in the country.
