Is President Trump pushing America into global isolation?

According to RIA Novosti on February 9, in an analysis on CNN, journalist Rob Picheta said that the latest decisions of US President Donald Trump threaten the long-standing and close relationship between the US and Europe.

"Mr. Trump's irrational geopolitical interventions could lead to the global isolation of the United States from its political allies. Mr. Trump's statements on Gaza only accelerate this process," journalist Picheta noted.

Picheta said that European leaders, while criticizing President Trump's statements and proposals, are worried about Washington's unpredictable reaction. Giving the example of the UK, the journalist said that the country is in dire need of good relations with the US to develop its economy. But London cannot ignore Trump's unexpected statements.

Earlier, the US President spoke about his intention to apply trade taxes on imported goods. Mr. Trump also said that the US will "control" the Gaza Strip and take responsibility for reconstruction efforts in the area, as well as turn this place into the world's "Middle East Riviera". The politician's statements have caused many mixed reactions globally.

Since taking office, President Trump has continuously made surprising decisions both domestically and internationally. The team in his new administration has contributed to this process.

Recently, Time magazine published a cover photo for its February issue, which featured a picture of billionaire Elon Musk sitting at the President's desk.America, behind him are two flags: the American flag and the presidential flag. Observers believe that, with this form of expression, the editorial board of the American magazine Time is trying to divide the relationship between businessman Elon Musk and the head of the White House Donald Trump.

“The attempt to divide Trump and Musk is obvious, but it is difficult to break their relationship. Trump has a sense of humor. Therefore, the magazine's attack is off target," said Alexey Pushkov, head of the Information Policy Committee of the Russian Federation Council.

Elon Musk is increasingly playing a significant role in the policies of the Trump 2.0 administration.
