  • US President Donald Trump's aggressive diplomacy, including threats over Greenland and tariffs, has strained relationships with traditional allies like Europe and Canada.
  • Trump's insulting remarks at Davos, mocking European renewable energy policies and belittling Switzerland and France, highlight his confrontational approach.
  • His 'peace deals' and trade negotiations are characterized by bullying, forcing nations like Ukraine and Israel to accept terms under duress.
  • Despite US economic and military power, nations are adapting to Trump's 'tantrums,' with India and China emerging as alternative trade partners.
  • The world is increasingly seeking alternatives to US dominance, driven by Trump's policies, as evidenced by the India-EU trade agreement despite US tariffs.
