Summary

Trump's confrontational approach to U.S. allies—threatening tariffs, pushing Canada and Mexico, and pressuring Colombia—risks alienating key partners.

Analysts warn this could push nations toward China, which is eager to capitalize on diplomatic rifts. Panama, after Trump's canal threat, opened talks with Beijing.

Critics argue Trump's aggressive diplomacy weakens trust, while supporters claim it reinforces U.S. strength. Despite the rhetoric, some policies, like repatriation flights to Colombia, remain unchanged.

Experts caution that isolating allies may bolster China’s global influence at America’s expense.
