The Trump administration’s foreign policy, rooted in the “America First” doctrine, has disrupted regional conflict resolution efforts and undermined cooperation among Middle Eastern countries.  Prioritising unilateralism and transactional, deal-based relationships, US President Donald Trump’s approach has deepened instability, particularly through his controversial proposal to forcibly displace Gaza’s population.

At the time, the large shipment drew the attention of authorities, who feared its contents could affect Argentina’s neutrality in the war.

Costs have ballooned for car companies after the Trump administration imposed 25% tariffs on imported cars — nearly half the US car market — as well as an additional 25% on imported parts, which every car built here depends on. Automakers would raise prices by double-digit percentages if they could – but there doesn’t appear to be enough demand. And given the importance of car sales to the…
