  • President Donald Trump's second coming as the 45th President of the United States has sent shockwaves across the globe, writes Zamikhaya Maseti.

The article from MSN discusses the significant influence of Donald Trump's conservative Republicanism on global trade and politics. Trump's "America First" policy has led to a reevaluation of international trade agreements, with a focus on reducing trade deficits and renegotiating or withdrawing from deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). His administration's imposition of tariffs, particularly on China, has sparked trade wars, affecting global supply chains and economic relations. Politically, Trump's approach has shifted U.S. foreign policy towards unilateralism, impacting alliances and causing friction with traditional partners. This has also encouraged a rise in nationalist and populist movements worldwide, as other leaders adopt similar protectionist and nationalist rhetoric. The article suggests that while Trump's policies aim to protect American industries and jobs, they have introduced volatility and uncertainty into the global economic landscape, potentially reshaping international relations for years to come.
