Donald Trump has been trying to blame other countries for the problems he could not solve in the country since the beginning of his second term as president. First, he has created a rift with neighboring countries Canada and Mexico by increasing customs duties. He has not been able to get ahead in his trade competition with China, on the contrary, he continues to make moves that will make the country take a step back in this regard.
Lastly, he came to the world's agenda with new sanctions threats against Iran and Russia. Trump said that additional sanctions would be implemented depending on whether Iran reaches an agreement on the nuclear issue. However, I do not think that this situation should be taken too seriously by the world public. The same Trump had pulled Zelensky's ear in recent weeks and given moderate messages to his arch-rival Putin. With these ups and downs and inconsistent attitudes that do not stand on solid ground, Trump is likely to receive unofficial vetoes from many countries, including European countries...
Regarding whether additional sanctions will be imposed on Iran, Trump says, "There are a few additional sanctions. We have additional customs duties on Iran and if we do not see any progress, we will implement them in a few weeks. We are not implementing them right now." I think we will all see in the coming days what kind of negotiations there are.
Trump also warns that if he does not agree to a nuclear agreement, he will impose additional tariffs on Iran, and if he prevents the ceasefire attempts, he will impose additional tariffs on Russia. He also makes a statement that is not very strategic with his statement that "If you buy oil from Russia, it means you cannot do business in the US".
The US production is already decreasing, its economy is in danger of going into recession and there are cold winds blowing even with its own neighboring countries... He is giving the victory of this trade war to China with his own hands. The US has already started to fall far behind China in technological infrastructure, production and trade.
On the other hand, he also dragged Elon Musk, whom he supports, into this vortex. Of course, everyone hangs their own leg, but the reason for the Tesla boycott is the Trump-Musk relationship. I am one of those who think that Elon Musk will gradually try to shake off the political figure he has assumed recently and will do his support without showing it to people. Going back to Trump's statements that he will declare war on Iran; neither the world nor the US economy can handle any more war.
