Global Tensions Rise as Allies Fear Trump's Impact on World Order

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump's re-election and his 'America First' policy could lead to global instability by weakening alliances and emboldening adversaries. His approach to foreign policy, including cutting aid to Ukraine and dismissing defense treaties in Asia, risks escalating tensions and nuclear proliferation. In the Middle East, Trump's close ties with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu may lead to aggressive actions against Iran and further conflict in Gaza and Lebanon. This isolationist stance could ultimately backfire, drawing the U.S. into conflicts it seeks to avoid.
