On May 4, 2017 Fareed Zakaria's article was entitled "Trump is turning other countries against the United States" was reflecting the significance of the U.S. politics and the exorbitant frustration in the side of the allies who have supported the United States of America after the Second World War.
In his BIG DIG analysis, Mr. Fareed wrote: "There has been much focus on President Trump’s erratic foreign policy — the outlandish positions, the many flip-flops, the mistakes. But far more damaging in the long run might be what some have termed the Trump effect: his impact on the domestic politics of other countries." [1]
This mnedia expert and journalist added: "That effect appears to be powerful, negative and enduring. It could undermine decades of U.S. foreign policy successes." [1]
On Feb 4th 2017, an article in ECONOMIST pointed out that Many American allies are troubled, and threatened, by Donald Trump’s foreign policy. [2]
The Economist continues: "Some of America’s allies may be reassured; but many of them are aghast at a foreign policy that seems determined to destroy many of the institutions and alliances created in the past half century." [2]
The article goes on further: "A telephone call between Mr Trump and Malcolm Turnbull, the prime minister of Australia, is reported to have turned remarkably sour over a previous American pledge to resettle refugees."[2]
The Economist Magazine digs the subject and writes, "Strikingly, Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, wrote to 27 European leaders listing America alongside Russia, China and terrorism among the main external threats to the European Union. Meanwhile Enrique Peña Nieto, Mexico’s president, cancelled a meeting with Mr Trump." [2]
This magazine states, "Some satisfaction on the part of Saudi Arabia is not surprising; like Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, two other Sunni countries, it was not targeted by the freeze on visas (see map). Gulf leaders disliked Barack Obama." [2]
The article published in this British Magazine provides the further information to its readers: "And Mr Trump seems better disposed to despots than his predecessor; he has praised Egypt’s president, Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, as “a fantastic guy”. And many Arab states impose tight access restrictions on fellow Muslims." [2]
On September 25, 2017, Gardiner Harris's article in The New York Times entitled "European Diplomats Speak Out Against Trump’s Opposition to Iran Deal." [3]
On Tuesday, March 21, 2017, Thomas Wright's article, published in The Brookings Institution , was entitled "Trump takes allies back to 19th century global order."[3]
The author of this article Mr. Wright writes, "For more than 70 years, the United States has led a liberal international order based on alliance systems, an open global economy, the primacy of rules and institutions, and the promotion of democracy and human rights." [3]
The writer continues, "Its friends in Asia and other nations sought and maintained alliances with Washington largely because of its role as leader of this liberal order, which underpinned both the security and prosperity of its allies."[3]
Mr. Wright, who is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, Director - Center on the United States and Europe states, "Now, that leadership is in jeopardy and—if you take Trump’s rhetoric at face value—the United States seems poised to become a normal great power, looking out only for its own narrow interests with no greater purpose." [3]
On May 24, 2018, Behnam Ben Taleblu, who previously served as a Senior Iran Analyst at FDD. and worked on non-proliferation issues at an arms control think-tank in Washington [5] writes,"Trump and Europe are entering a ‘game of chicken’ over Iran nuclear deal sanctions." [6]
This senior analyst states, "European leaders are assembling a playbook to preserve the Iran nuclear deal that puts the Continent on course for direct conflict with the United States." [6]
This expert, Mr. Taleblu addresses, "In his view, the EU measures are a clear indication that Europe is not yet on Trump's side. The administration needs to prioritize getting Europe on board before the expiration in November of a 180-day grace period for companies to wind down business with Iran, he added." [6]
