Trump: The Man Changing the Planet

Published January 3, 2026, 14:17

Following his re-election as President of the United States in November 2024, Donald Trump appears to be implementing a radically different foreign policy. While he previously alluded to potential solutions for international crises, such as in Ukraine and Gaza, his administration is now undertaking aggressive and controversial actions, including the attack on Venezuela and the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro. These actions, characterized by disregard for international law and diplomatic channels, are causing instability and increasing the risk of new conflicts. Despite Trump's claims of resolving six wars and his hopes for a Nobel Peace Prize, his actions suggest the opposite. The arrest of Maduro, carried out by Delta Force commandos, has sparked strong reactions and prompted Venezuela to request an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council. Trump seems to be introducing new standards in international politics, violating the rules and principles governing relations between states. The operation in Venezuela was described by him as the result of 'very good planning' and was conducted in cooperation with US law enforcement agencies. Overall, Trump's policy, although unpredictable, appears to be leading to a more unstable and dangerous global situation, with potential consequences for the economic and humanitarian situation in countries like Venezuela. Criticism focuses on the lack of diplomacy and the preference for unilateral actions that undermine international law.
