US President Donald Trump is an American businessman and politician affiliated with the Republican Party. He served as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021 and was re-elected as the 47th president after winning the November 2024 election.
His first term was defined by a trade war with China, tense exchanges with North Korea, and his controversial push to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to curb immigration.
At the start of his second term, Trump imposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico, straining relations with America’s closest neighbors despite the NAFTA and USMCA trade agreements. He also stirred controversy with his remarks about Panama’s control of its canal and his reported interest in purchasing Greenland from Denmark—a proposal widely dismissed by Danish officials.
Trump became the first U.S. president to be impeached twice and one of the few to lose a re-election bid before staging a political comeback. He began his career in the family real estate business, later becoming a real estate tycoon and reality TV host before entering politics in 2016. His presidency and post-presidency have been clouded by legal troubles, including multiple felony charges and civil cases. The most infamous controversy remains his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters as Congress was certifying Joe Biden’s victory. In 2024, Trump survived an assassination attempt during a rally while he was campaigning for presidency.
Good Lord, this article is all over the place. Russia’s smo was in response to unrestrained expansion of NATO. Taiwan is a recognized part of China, not sure how one can invade themselves. And they are building a dam on their territory, what is India’s problem. Probably projection considering India has threatened to block water to its neighbours and has carried out outright blockades of neighbors such as Nepal during their devastating earthquake.
I still wonder how India which helped Bangladesh gain independence completely lost the plot there.
Finally, the only expansionist power is the US which continues to occupy other countries and invades sovereign nations with impunity. Have we forgotten Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Somali, Grenada, Haiti? Trump has decided to stop with the fake excuses and just cut to the chase.
