Trump's Return: The Great Global Realignment
The prospect of a second Donald Trump term is accelerating a global geopolitical realignment. Powers are adjusting their strategies in the face of a U.S. policy perceived as more unpredictable and transactional. At the heart of this dynamic, a crucial summit between the United States and China aims to manage strategic tensions, particularly in AI, while sovereign wealth fund financial flows massively favor technological investments in the United States. In Europe, leaders like Emmanuel Macron are reaffirming their sovereignty in direct response to American rhetoric. In the Middle East, Washington's unpredictability exacerbates tensions, as evidenced by American fears of a "rapid escalation" after an attack on Riyadh. This context pushes allies to rethink their security and opens an era of more fluid alliances and increased uncertainty.
