Further intimidate Western allies, Donald Trump reaffirmed its determination to completely remake American foreign policy, as he took office last week.
In interviews given to newspapers, Trumpi repeated criticism of NATO as "outdated", described the European Union as a "tool for Germany", and indicated that he may lift sanctions against Russia. Shares in the German car manufacturers declined, as Trumpi threatened to impose a 35% tariff on BMW's produced in Mexico, to be sold in the US. But his bid for a quick agreement UK-US trading, after Brexit, was welcomed in the UK. Trumpi also rejected with anger, rumors that he had held parties with prostitutes in Russia.
Elton John and many other famous artists refused invitations to sing at the inauguration of Trumpi Friday. John Lewis, a veteran in the protection of civil rights, said he was staying away to protest the illegal Trumpi choice. Once Trumpi said Lewis is a person "who only speaks" 50 Democratic congressmen as they said they would not attend.
What wrote editorials?
"The inauguration of a new US president is usually a great moment of hope," wrote The Observer. Not this time. The idea of Trumpi Oval Office has caused "fear, anxiety and foreboding." During the campaign, he showed that it is not suitable for the task, and behavior Trumpi only recently confirmed this judgment.
Within a few minutes after opening a press conference last week, he attacked the American intelligence services, hit hard US companies that invest abroad and eliminated with a firm's healthcare reforms Obama. "His rise is a national disgrace."
Internationally, boxes has never been higher, wrote The Times. The new administration is threatening not only a potentially disastrous trade war with Beijing, but she chooses a "scuffle" China on the establishment of artificial islands in the South China Sea. A clash that could escalate into armed conflict. To make matters worse, the Financial Times wrote, Trumpi seems ready to risk alienation of allies in Europe, giving up 70-year policy of America in support of a united Europe. It is totally "in the wrong direction." It showed very clearly how the Cold War and September 11, the US needs strong allies in Europe.
What commentators say
Trumpi presidency is destined to fail, wrote Richard Cohen in The Washington Post. Just as Lyndon B. Johnson "a fragrance that haunts lawlessness." He took office with a deficit of almost 3 million votes in the popular vote; A survey of recent days makes it less popular among the last seven presidents elected. Only 40% of voters have a good opinion of (compared with 78% for Barack Obama during the inauguration, 62% for George W. Bush and 66% for Bill Clinton). "I wish the best; I wish the worst. The dilemma is how to hate to love for the country ".
America has chosen a demagogue, Bret Stephens wrote in The Wall Street Journal. But "if the Liberals intend to spend the next four years, in a state of indignation with high decibels, they can certainly pave the way for his re-election." Because Trumpi attacks have a kuocient the truth, his great fire of veneration popular liberal could result. EU NATO members have their weight; EU itself is in trouble; John Lewis emboldened that questioned the legitimacy of his election. It is also true that things need to be shaken after "assurances numb years of Obama." The big concern is that Trumpi lacks size or sense of self-restraint; "His genius that the collapse of things, is much higher than its ability to build things."
This is a concern Matthew Cooper wrote in Newsweek, "if you believe that Trumpi has a series of fixed beliefs." But he has not. For example, he appeared to back away from its proposed plan to stop Muslims. He also wants his appointees "to express their opinions, not mine." Gen. James Mattis, the appointee of the Secretary of Defense Trumpi, did just that when he said that he (unlike Trumpi) sees Russia as the "main danger" to the US. This is the problem, wrote Max Hastings in the Daily Mail. Even his circle of closest I do not know how to behave this "70-year-old messy and vindictive".
Is he ready to launch a new war with Iran, or deliver to Russia and the Baltic states? We have reason to be nervous. As for me, we feel that defrauded "If the president does not cause a decrease 45 global total - or not throw us all up"
