Trump made strong accusations on China while justifying his policies. He said that “China is spreading pollution without any concern, and America is paying the price for it.” China expressed concern over this decision and said that “climate change is a global challenge in which every country will have to work together.”
Opinion
These decisions of Trump reflect an aggressive and nationalist approach. But their long-term impact can be problematic for America and the world. Withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and boycotting the WHO can weaken America’s global leadership position.
Pardoning the Capitol Hill riot accused sends a wrong message and could weaken America’s legal framework. The decisions on national energy emergency and sending army to border may be popular among his supporters, but their ecological and ethical impact is serious.
Trump’s aggressive policies and unilateral decisions could lead to short-term economic gain for America, but will also have long-term diplomatic cost. It will now be important to see what effect these policies have on America’s domestic and international image.
Conclusion
Trump’s leadership is controversial and bold, which increases his popularity among his supporters. But as the leader of a democratic nation, questions arise about the accountability and ethical values of these policies. It remains to be seen whether Trump will be successful in changing the world’s perspective through his decisions in his next tenure.
