Trump’s MAGA playbook eyes Canada—trade wars, Arctic tensions, even 51st state talk. Ottawa pushes back with sovereignty claims and infrastructure in Nunavut. Is this economic pressure or veiled expansionism?
Trump’s Gulf tour lands Boeing \$120B+ in deals—part of a bold pivot from China to Middle East allies. But in a world of rising tariffs and shaky supply chains, can the strategy fly?

Trump’s America First weakened U.S. global leadership. China expanded its influence through the BRI and education initiatives. But despite economic gains, it still struggles to improve its image and build real soft power.
Turkey's drones reshape South Asia's battlefield. In May’s India-Pakistan clash, Islamabad deployed 400+ Turkish UAVs—marking a new era of proxy warfare and Ankara’s deepening role in global flashpoints.
Kyiv is leading Europe’s anti-China turn—accusing Beijing of fueling Russia’s war machine and pushing EU allies to confront China’s role. Ukraine’s fight now includes reshaping Europe’s entire view of Beijing.
