Today marks one year since President Trump returned to the White House on January 20, 2025. What began as a vow to end "forever wars" and champion an "America First" agenda has taken some surprising turns. 🎉🌍
Despite branding himself a "President of Peace", Trump's second term has seen a wave of military action. In the past year, U.S. forces carried out strikes in Yemen, Syria, Nigeria and Venezuela. 🔥✈️
Perhaps the boldest move? Threats to purchase Greenland, a huge, resource-rich island that's part of Denmark. This startled both allies in NATO and rivals around the world. ❄️🤯
So what does it mean? Instead of retreating from the world stage, the U.S. under Trump has kept its footprint active. From the Middle East to the Arctic, Washington's approach blends hard power with unconventional diplomacy. The result is a reshuffled global order, with allies and competitors adjusting to a more unpredictable Washington. 🔄
As Trump's second term moves into its next phase, all eyes are on which battles, both diplomatic and military, will come next. Stay tuned for more as the global chessboard continues to shift. 🌐
