Donald Trump will be back president of the United States after a landslide victory that set off all the alarms among those who fear it was an attack on the country’s democracy. In Europe, fear is also growing about what will happen next with NATO, Ukraine or Israel.
“On day one, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history,” Trump announced during his campaign. However, this day already has a date: January 20. After his victory, the tycoon indicated that the United States is a country that needs help, and urgently.. “Let’s repair our borders.”he assured.
An attack on immigrants that passes through detention camps and sends asylum seekers in the United States to third countries in Central America and even Africa. Trump stressed that if they want to enter the country “They have to do it legally.”
Fear also for American democracy. The dreaded ‘Project 2025“, a plan to rule them all, envisions presidential control of institutions by someone who promises to persecute his opponents.
“Danger is no longer a future, danger is the present”warned international relations professor Pedro Rodríguez.
Additionally, he also plans to use the the army must intervene in cities controlled by the democrats, a possible new attack on abortion rights and more aggressive measures against LGBT rights.
“What we are witnessing is the biggest blow to democracy, with global repercussions,” he stressed.
For his part, Blas Moreno, co-director of “The World Order”, indicated that “his arrival coincides with a moment of particular weakness for Europe. In France, Macron governs with an assembly against him and the German government is destroyed. “
Concern also within NATO, alliance highly criticized by Trump; and in Ukraine, which fears that American weapons and aid will stop arriving.
For his part, Benjamin Netanyahu, who has already done and undone as he pleased with Joe Biden in Gaza, will now have, with Trump, even more room to maneuver. Even, experts say, for a future annexation of the West Bank and in its confrontation with Iran.
“Trump is a very pro-Israeli and very anti-Iranian president. The concern in Tehran must be very great,” stressed Blas Moreno.
Hours before the Republican victory, Netanyahu fired his defense minister and replaced him with the foreign minister, who criticized Spain for recognizing Palestinian statehood. The tension in the streets of Tel Aviv contrasts with the joy in the offices to see the path, even clearer, after Trump’s victory.
