Trump ensures chaos: markets, allies and government in turmoil
Washington-For a long time, one of the strongest assets of President Donald Trump . The uncertainty that results from this is one of his greatest riddles.
global uncertainties and Trump's economic decisions
This week, a fresh feeling of confusion from Trump-inspired decisions from the financial markets to foreign capitals echoed. Questions have been made as to whether Trump's decisions regarding Handel help for Ukraine or The Federal Authorities from strategy or impuls. "Look, our country was robbed by everyone," said Trump on Friday. "That stops now."
Trump's unpredictable trade strategy
The seventh week of his presidency was planned as something triumphals, with a Common session of the congress to gather the Republicans behind his agenda. Instead, the week was dominated by Trump's actions, not only by his words, especially through his turn regarding tariffs.
Just one day after the introduction of tariffs to Canada and Mexico, he withdrew them and granted the leading automotive manufacturers of the country a one -month suspension. A day later, when he squeezed back and pushed more tariffs on Mexico and Canada, this confused the financial markets.
The reactions of the markets and Trump's attitude
"I'm not even looking at the market," said Trump on Thursday in the Oval Office - a statement that produced eye roles with both his advisors and his supporters. Regardless of this, the market was attentive and deleted most of the profits since the elections in November.
Trump's crisis management: interior and foreign policy
Despite all the planning that Trump and his advisors were doing outside of power during their four years - from the preparation of a large number of executive regulations to detailed plans for the radical redesign of the federal authorities - the first time again reminded that president is usually measured by their response to challenges outside of their control.
for Trump, this becomes particularly clear in terms of economy and the war in Ukraine, where his efforts to end the conflict that started after the invasion of Russia are connected with a decrease in support for Kiev and an approach to Moscow.
Trump's turbulent relationships with Trudeau and Musk's influence
Although the uncertain movements regarding the tariffs brought the stock prices to fall and managers excited, Trump did not seem to disturb. In fact, he had once again threatened with 250 % of Canadian dairy products - a topic that had not been mentioned in the previous interviews and press conferences.
The discussion about the dairy products made Trump directly with the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which, as he emphasized on Truth Social, “ended in a 'certain' friendly way.” As it turned out, the word "conscience" was complex and the conversation was heated at some points, according to official sources. When Trudeau tried to reach Trump, he was ignored - this ultimately led Trudeau Trump informed that the tariffs were a "very stupid decision".
The future of US Ukrainian relationships
The tense relationships between Trump and the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky increased after an incident in the Oval Office. Despite the private efforts of American officials to emphasize the importance of stabilizing relationships with Ukraine, there was murmuring over the possibility of repairing the relationship. While Trump initially expressed antipathy, he seemed open to reconciliation on Tuesday evening. In a speech he read Zelensky's message in which he apologized for the incident.
These efforts led to an early planning of conversations between American and Ukrainian officials who were scheduled for the next week in Saudi Arabia. Trump stated that he regarded Zelensky's letter as a very positive first step. However, he also briefly showed anger on Russia and spoke of possible new sanctions if Moscow continues to "enter Ukraine".
But this moment of outrage was probably only of short duration, because hours later Trump explained in the Oval Office that Russian President Vladimir Putin held "all cards" in his hand. This statement reflected Trump's previous rhetoric, which has often been in favor of Moscow in the past few weeks.
