Trump’s return: A new chapter in U.S. and global politics.
Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th US President is already signaling significant upheaval, both domestically and internationally. Based on his initial executive actions and stated priorities, the potential consequences of this administration could lead to widespread instability and chaos, affecting not just the U.S. but the global order.
From the outset, Trump’s new term has heightened political polarization. His pardoning of individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol attack threatens to normalize political violence and undermine faith in the rule of law.
His declaration of a war against immigrants and efforts to end birthright citizenship will lead to civil unrest and chaos. Furthermore, the deployment of armed forces at the Mexican border will escalate tensions and spark violent confrontations.
Moreover, the declassification of historical records related to high-profile assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr will stir public distrust, further eroding social cohesion.
Trump’s new era will be a challenge for Pakistan for many reasons. The anti-state actors and parties like PTI, who are already antagonizing the state, might try to seek help in their scheme from the Trump administration.
Trump will try to assert his pressure to make Pakistan distance itself from China in view of the new Trade Wars.
