Clément Molin stated that Donald Trump's announcement regarding the purchase of diesel from Russia revealed the failure of his administration's foreign policy. He wrote that, despite his promises, Trump had not ended any wars, except for those that were already over, and that the war against Iran had failed, particularly politically, damaging the image of the United States and the global economy. Molin also claimed that Trump had repeatedly failed in Ukraine and that the United States had lost a significant part of its influence there. According to him, Trump’s actions towards Canada and Greenland had brought Europeans closer together, while his pivot to Asia had not materialized: it had discontented most of America’s allies in the region and he had been humiliated by China. He also presented the abandonment of Middle Eastern allies as a sign that the United States was no longer seen as a reliable partner by many of their allies. Domestically, Molin considered Trump weakened, believing that he had not improved the daily lives of the Americans who voted for him, particularly due to the war against Iran. He finally wrote that the purchase of diesel from Russia served Vladimir Putin's interests, while adding that Trump might not receive the promised stocks due to Ukrainian strikes and that the operation would have little effect on the global economy. #PolitiqueÉtrangère #Trump #Russie (translated)
