Trump's tensions with allies risk long-term consequences for the US

President Donald Trump is facing growing criticism and tensions with traditional US allies, while his recent foreign policy decisions are causing concern in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

According to analysts, although the military clash between the US and Iran may ease in the coming weeks, the damage to relations with Washington's strategic partners could last much longer.

Tensions rose after Trump announced the withdrawal of 5,000 US troops from Germany and warned of further military reductions in countries such as Italy and Spain. The decisions came after clashes with European leaders over the war on Iran and defense spending in NATO.

Trump has repeatedly accused European allies of not contributing enough to collective security, hinting that the US may not fully honor its obligations to the alliance.

In Europe, these developments have increased efforts to strengthen common defense and reduce dependence on the U.S. European officials are discussing increasing military investment and developing common weapons systems.

Meanwhile, US partners in the Persian Gulf have also been alarmed by Trump's tepid response to Iranian attacks on the United Arab Emirates. Some Arab states fear that Washington could reach a deal with Tehran without considering their security interests.

There are also concerns in Asia, where countries such as Japan and South Korea are closely watching developments. Analysts warn that uncertainty in American policy could affect confidence in the United States in the event of a potential conflict with China.

On the other hand, Russia and China are trying to take advantage of the situation, presenting themselves as more stable partners in the international arena.

Experts warn that Trump's approach to allies could change global balances and affect US strategic relationships even after his term ends./ CNA
