You know things really have gotten off track when a president-elect is running the presidency like he already has taken office. Case in point is President-elect Donald Trump. His meetings, announced appointments, and public statements are having a tremendous impact all around the world, and he hasn’t taken office, but it seems like he has. Global financial markets have responded positively not only to news of his election but also to his appointments that would impact the economy. Stock markets and general reaction to appointments have taken a turn for the better since the election. There is great promise on the horizon in foreign policy as well with three major indicators of better days ahead.
Trump announced that he would order extensive 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada if the two countries did not move to fix illegal immigration, crime, and drugs crossing from those countries into the United States. Immediately, Joe Biden took issue and publicly stated that he wished Trump would reconsider. The immediate reaction from Mexican leftist President Claudia Sheinbaum was to escalate a tariff war with retaliation. Within days, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew to Trump’s home to discuss the matter. Trump also talked via phone with Sheinbaum, who has backed off her tariff for tariff stance and is now agreeing to stop a migrant caravan heading to the US. Trudeau said that Trump doesn’t make a threat unless he is prepared to carry it out and that he (Trudeau) will work with Trump to find positive solutions for both countries.
Biden inched the US closer to nuclear war by authorizing the use of US weapons by Ukraine against Russia. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin threatened retaliation. Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky called on America and her allies for more help. In steps, Trump, and all of a sudden, Putin is describing Trump as an “intelligent and experienced” politician capable of finding “solutions.” Zelensky is likewise suddenly interested in trading some of the Russian-occupied Ukrainian land for peace and security—details to be worked out.
