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," noted journalist Picheta.

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

Earlier, the US President spoke about his intention to impose trade tariffs on imported goods. Mr. Trump also said that the US would "take control" of the Gaza Strip and take responsibility for reconstruction efforts in the region, as well as turn it into the world's "Middle Eastern Riviera". The politician's statements have caused mixed reactions globally.

Since taking office, President Trump has continuously made surprising decisions both domestically and internationally. The contribution to this process cannot be overlooked except for the team in his new administration.

Recently, Time magazine published a cover photo for its February issue, which featured a photo 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 drive a wedge between Trump and Musk is obvious, but it is difficult to break their relationship. Trump has a sense of humor. Therefore, the magazine's attack missed the target," said Alexey Pushkov, head of the Information Policy Committee of the Federation Council of Russia.

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