The new president of the United States has demonstrated a direct approach to achieving his goals and showcasing his power and influence internationally. Since taking office, he has issued executive orders affecting countries such as Mexico, Canada, and China, threatening to impose tariffs if his demands are not met.
China has maintained a discreet stance, Canada has responded with some ambiguity, while Mexico has intensified its efforts against migration and organized crime, highlighting the achievements made in recent months. This includes the destruction of labs, drug seizures, arrests of key figures, and the extradition of crime leaders to the United States.
The president is not limited to regional actions but seeks to make an impact on the global stage by imposing his conditions worldwide. His recent meeting with the president of Ukraine could signal a shift in U.S. support policy in the conflict with Russia, which could strain relations with the European Union and call into question NATO's future.
In the case of Mexico, Trump has expressed his dissatisfaction with the actions of the Mexican government, hinting at investigations into Mexican politicians linked to fentanyl trafficking. This pressure adds complexity to the bilateral relationship between the two countries.
With several drug lords under his custody, the uncertainty remains whether he could demand more in the future, even involving political figures in this dynamic of pressure.
