Since returning to the White House in 2025, Donald Trump has pursued aggressive policies in three key areas: Tariffs, Territory, and Transfers (of People).

Tariffs: He raised tariffs on multiple countries, triggering retaliatory measures and disrupting global trade.

Territory: He controversially suggested Canada join the U.S., expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, and sought control over the Panama Canal, all met with strong opposition.

Transfers: His most extreme move was proposing a U.S. takeover of Gaza, displacing Palestinians and converting it into a luxury destination—a plan widely condemned.

Dr Chandra argues that while Trump’s actions are reckless and colonial, they ironically fuel global resistance against U.S. and Israeli dominance, potentially leading to a shift in international power dynamics.
