Trump's New Strategy: Balancing Political Ambitions and Commercial Interests Within the Context of Redefining the Dynamics of Global Power

Abstract

This study examines the Trump administration’s foreign policy as a complex strategy that intertwines political ambitions with commercial interests, resulting in global conflicts of interest. The authors employ a case study approach, policy analysis, and a review of existing literature to explore the impact of Trump’s new orientations on reconfiguring international geopolitics. The analysis focuses on global issues the] Transfer of Palestinians from Gaza Strip, Russian-Ukrainian War and the Precious Metals Deal, The Rupture in The Transatlantic Alliance, and the Trade War with China[. The findings indicate that Trump’s policies, rooted in the pursuit of "Make America Great Again" “MAGA” from a businessman’s perspective, are pushing the geopolitical landscape to move at a rapid pace; it is likely to damage the US relationships with its traditional allies while fostering closer cooperation between Moscow and Beijing in countering American dominance. This approach, driven predominantly by economic interests, poses a threat to international agreements and destabilizes the global order—a system that the US played a pivotal role in shaping in the aftermath of World War II and consolidating following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
