Recently, Trump, claiming to support Christians in Nigeria, announced that the U.S. Department of Defense was ready for military action against the country and ordered that any potential operation be executed quickly and forcefully. Simultaneously, the U.S. Secretary of Defense claimed that the killing of Christians must stop, warning that otherwise, terrorists would be targeted. Nigeria’s response was immediate: a Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized that these claims were false and that Nigerians of all religions have been living in peace for years. These accusations come while other African countries, such as Sudan, Tanzania, and Cameroon, are also experiencing internal conflicts. At the same time, the U.S. has escalated its threats against Latin American countries, particularly Venezuela. This pattern reflects the link between developments in Africa and Latin America and Trump’s personal calculations and U.S. global policy, which can be interpreted as a redefinition of global crisis-making.
Trump’s Policy of Submission or War
Despite claims of seeking peace upon entering the White House, Trump has shown a consistent reliance on the options of submission or war to pressure countries. Joint military attacks with the Israeli regime on Iran, economic sanctions against China, and a limited ceasefire to disarm Hamas demonstrated that his submission strategy has largely failed. Nevertheless, threats to resume nuclear tests and military movements against Nigeria and Venezuela indicate the continuation of this policy. Meetings of European countries at the White House and later in Sharm El-Sheikh revealed that negotiations with the U.S. are largely about humiliation and forced compliance, yielding little practical result. This behavior clearly exposes Trump’s acquisitive nature.
Natural Resources; Family Interests
Analysis of Trump’s policies shows that the countries targeted by pressure and threats are often rich in oil and mineral resources. Nigeria produces two million barrels of oil daily, and Venezuela holds some of the largest oil reserves in the world. In the Middle East, Trump has signed oil and energy agreements with Arab countries and encouraged their investments in specific U.S. companies. The same pattern is observed in interactions with Asian countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, South Korea, Japan, and Australia. Statistics indicate that these policies, rather than serving the U.S. public interest, have primarily benefited Trump’s family and close associates; the growth of family wealth amid domestic economic crisis and 42 million Americans needing food assistance is a stark example of his personal profiteering.
Disrupting the New World Order
Trump regards BRICS and global multilateral agreements as threats to U.S. interests and seeks to counter them. Although it is claimed that tensions with China, India, and Brazil have eased, U.S. military and economic actions in Ukraine, West Asia, Africa, and Latin America indicate the persistence of aggressive policies. Simultaneously, his alignment with the Israeli regime has allowed global crises to be managed in ways that shield Israel from international sanctions and divert public attention from its actions. This chain of global crisis-making threatens international security and stability, and the only way to counter it is through consensus and unified action by countries of the new world order against U.S. overreach.
