The arrival of Donald Trump for a second term is the result of the merger of powerful forces, historically rooted in strategic regions and sectors of the economic and political systems of the United States of America. This victory not only reflects the popular gratitude for his direct, destructive and polarizing style, but also contributes to the power of the most conservative groups of economic and political interests, which, thanks to the massive injection of resources, declared their return to power. These actors, whose ideology covers the ultra -conservative version of capitalism and nationalism, see in Trump the embodiment of their interests and the facilitator for their most ambitious policy.

From his first presidential campaign, Trump unfolded a speech until this moment was seen in American modern politics, challenging the rules of decency and moderation in the speeches of presidential candidates. With an aggressive, racist, macho and xenophobic approach, Trump attracted the attention of the voter who felt that his country was losing “greatness”, and instead they were imposed on a new reality that threatened their way of life. This dividing rhetoric was not only a product of their words, but also the structure of the campaign, which allowed the active participation of their strategists, many of which will occupy the power positions in their government, along with lawmakers and governors who shared their conservative vision of the country with a field

Already in power, the Trump administration not only gave the continuity of its campaign, but also aggressively realizes some of the most controversial and dangerous proposals. In matters of human rights, climate change, migration and geopolitical priorities of the United States, Trump’s policy is a failure that jeopardizes the fundamental achievements of mankind.

Refusal of agreements, such as the Parisian Treaty, or the US World Organization for the United States, environmental deregulation and criminal crimination are only some examples of how the campaign promises materialized in politics that does not affect the United States policy, but for international relations and for international relations and everyday life of millions around the world.

The influence of these solutions is even more alarming when a global panorama is observed. Trump was clearly looking for to weaken the multilateral institutions that were conceived after the Second World War to ensure the international world and cooperation. His position “America is the first” is a direct attempt to dismantle multilaterality, choosing bilateral relations, often contradictory, with other countries; But this facilitates the imposition of power in relations where negotiations from the perspective of power, facilitates the receipt of benefits and providing advantages for your country.

The most obvious case of this attack on the multilaterality is the connection of the United States with the countries of the Middle East, especially in relation to the gas sector and the dynamics of power between Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and its allies in the region of the Trump decisions in this area, such as the transfer of the American embassy In Jerusalem, the pressure on Iran and its treatment of Saudi Arabia, can have the geopolitical consequences of huge dimensions, aggravation of tension and the creation of climate of unprecedented infratitiveness.

In addition, Trump’s commercial solutions are already changing the global economic balance. His aggressive commercial policy encountered not only China, but also with Europe, a historically ally of the United States in both political and military terms. Commercial tension, which led to a series of tariff international offers.

For Mexico, the consequences of the Trump administration are a direct and large project. The migration policy of the US President, as well as the threat of classification of Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, can not only establish bilateral relations between the two countries, but also increase pressure on Mexico on public security and justice issues, which pushes the country to a deeper confrontation with internal problems, with with whom he is already encountering. The agenda of migration and safety is intertwined, and Trump’s position puts Mexico in a vulnerable position, which can lead to a greater militarization of the border and public security as a whole, with a very probable failure in human rights.

The set of this dynamics, from the expansion of conservative and xenophobic discourse to the dismantling of key international agreements and destabilizing commercial relations, can marked the beginning of a new era in globalization, characterized by fragmentation, extreme nationalism and rethinking, which led international relations during the last seven decades. The panorama, which is remembered over the next four years, is at least marked by a constant struggle, which can lead the world to a period of giant proportions and conflicts.

The task is how to respond to this new reality. The tension between the United States and the rest of the world is not only political and commercial, but is also a nation of an ideological turn that can revise international relations to the future. If the world does not find an adequate answer, if the norms of multilaterality and global dialogue are not established, we will find ourselves at the beginning of the new era of the conflict and separation, and with the support of powerful economic and political interests, this can violate the fragile balance achieved after the Second World War.
