Trump's actions may encourage Russia to further advance in Ukraine - Media.
U.S. President Donald Trump deserves criticism for his intrusive style of asserting power over other countries. He claims that countries must listen to his demands, otherwise they face a rupture of diplomatic ties and a decline in economic cooperation. However, this tactic may backfire, experts warn.
While Trump has managed to achieve some successes, such as forcing the Colombian president to extend deportation flights, some critics point out that this approach weakens arguments against countries that use threats and blackmail to subjugate their neighbors.
Moreover, Trump's failed attempt to annex Greenland could draw China's attention to Taiwan and intensify Russia's claims on Ukraine. Critics believe that the U.S. president should maintain good relations with his allies rather than use them for territorial gains.
It is worth noting that this approach resembles practices used by Russia and China and may harm U.S. national interests.
