Nournews: After Trump was re-elected as the president of the United States, many analysts, in addition to reviewing his policies during his first term, have predicted his actions and reactions to the current developments in the world by examining indicators from his past behavior.
It is a fact that the deep developments occurring in the world over the past few years, along with significant changes in the role, function, and displacement of major players, are important factors that will all affect Trump’s key decisions during his new term.
Although Trump has an unpredictable personality, and some believe this is one of his characteristics, predicting his fixed priorities—particularly after serving as president for four years—is not very difficult.
Two wars currently ongoing in the Middle East, regardless of their humanitarian, military, social, and political aspects, have an important effect on the global economy, and naturally, the U.S. economy will also be affected.
One of Trump’s claims that was widely echoed during his presidential campaign was his promise to end the wars in Lebanon and Gaza.
Certainly, this concern cannot be attributed to Trump’s philanthropic spirit or his dislike of conflicts, as he has proven the opposite on several occasions. The only rationale for Trump’s desire to end the wars in Gaza and Ukraine is the economic loss these wars bring to America and the costs and heavy bills that America’s allies continuously issue for sustaining the battlefield—costs that American citizens must bear.
On the other hand, Trump’s European allies, as well as the Prime Minister of Israel, Netanyahu, who warmly welcomed Trump’s re-election, want the wars to continue for their personal, political, and security reasons, regardless of the heavy costs they impose on America’s economy. They expect the Trump administration to support their request and assist them consistently in managing the wars.
However, the political, military, and geopolitical dimensions of the wars in Gaza and Lebanon show that, due to the compounded complexities surrounding these two conflicts, Trump’s promise to end the wars in Gaza and Ukraine is unlikely to happen in the near future. Another article would be required to explore the reasons behind this claim.
It is important to note that Europe sees Russia’s success in the Ukraine war and the realization of Moscow’s goals in this battlefield as a threat to its national security. Additionally, the Israeli regime, which is not willing to stop the war without achieving success to cover up its failures and reputational damage, highlights the significant gap between Trump’s will and the goals of his allies.
