Trump's Second Term: Pushing America and the World to a Breaking Point?

  • Donald Trump's second term sees him reasserting control, settling scores, and pushing US power, startling allies and opponents.
  • Dramatic intervention in Venezuela: removal of Nicolás Maduro and US oversight of oil exports, sparking concerns of 'old-style imperial thinking'.
  • Revived demand to acquire Greenland strains NATO relations, particularly with European allies.
  • Escalating tensions with the US Federal Reserve, with Trump using investigative pressure against Chair Jerome Powell over interest rates.
  • Warnings of military intervention in Iran amidst protests, risking regional instability and retaliation against US forces.

Why It Matters: Trump's aggressive second-term approach challenges norms, risking economic shocks, domestic divisions, and global conflicts.
