Trump's Leadership and Global Geopolitical Shifts in 2026

In 2026, US President Donald Trump's leadership continues to reshape global geopolitics, marked by assertive policies such as the military operation in Venezuela and the pursuit of Greenland. Experts highlight a shift toward strategic autonomy among major powers, with rising tensions between the US, Europe, China, and others. While some view Trump’s approach as disruptive and personalist, others see it as a reaction to evolving global challenges. The US withdrawal from WHO and emphasis on military and economic nationalism reflect a broader reassertion of American primacy amid a fracturing international order.
