Trump's assumption of Office: Republicans seizing political initiative in the U.S. undermines China's strategy to overcome the democratic alliance

On January 20, 2025, after the inauguration ceremony of Donald Trump as the 47th President, a new political cycle began in the United States. In his inaugural speech, Trump announced his intention to immediately take several decisions aimed at transforming the United States' global role.

These statements emphasized his desire to radically revise the American approach to the world order, which no longer meets US interests.

Although Donald Trump mentioned only Panama, China, and Mexico in his inaugural speech's foreign policy track, he deliberately avoided Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel. This strategic selectivity allows him to maintain room for maneuver in future negotiations with Moscow and Beijing.
