Diplomacy
Inside the US President's working method
There is no doubt that the United States remains the world’s greatest superpower.
Is Trump’s aggression real or just a political bluff?
Donald Trump took office as the President of the United States on January 20. In just a short period, he has made numerous orders and expressed intentions to make several decisions that have shocked many worldwide. He has been issuing threats and making bold statements. Already, he has taken so many actions that many consider unusual. No US president in recent history has taken so many significant steps right after taking office, nor has any president threatened other countries in this way. Some critics have even compared him to Adolf Hitler, calling him an extreme nationalist. Among his most controversial decisions are taking control of the war-torn Gaza Strip and relocating its residents, making Canada the 51st US state (often referring to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as 'Governor'), imposing high tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, shut down USAID, deporting illegal immigrants from the US, attempting to acquire Greenland from Denmark, reclaiming control over the Panama Canal, offering military aid to Ukraine in exchange for mineral resources, and restrict access to intelligence information for former President Biden, among many other actions.
What message does world receives from Trump's 'America First' doctrine
Donald Trump is returning to the White House for a second term, and this return could bring significant changes to global politics and economics. It is believed that once Trump resumes his duties as the President of the United States, he will begin implementing his declared "America First" policy. This agenda will not only change the intricacies of US foreign policy but will also have a profound impact on the lives of millions of people living outside America's borders. There is much speculation about how Trump's approach to major international issues might unfold. During his election campaign, Trump repeatedly stated that he could end the Russia-Ukraine war in a day, though he never clarified how he would achieve this.
What will Trump’s policy be on Bangladeshi immigrants?
Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States for a second term on January 20, with a stern stance against undocumented immigrants. In his inaugural speech, he declared, “America’s golden era begins today,” and emphasized his “America First” policy, vowing to restore sovereignty and security. He proclaimed, “We will become the envy of every nation. No one will exploit us anymore. Today marks the end of America’s decline. God has kept me alive to make America great again.”
Why Tulip Siddiq’s resignation matters to Bangladeshis more than the British
Tulip Siddiq, a minister from the UK’s ruling Labour Party, resigned from her position as the Economic Secretary to the Treasury and City Minister after being implicated in an investigation regarding the alleged embezzlement of £3.9 billion from Bangladesh's infrastructure projects. The accusation is that her family was involved in the misappropriation of these funds. Following the involvement of her name in a corruption investigation in Bangladesh, pressure had been mounting for her resignation. Recently, she, along with her mother, brother, sister, and aunt, has been accused in a corruption case in Bangladesh. However, Tulip Siddiq has consistently denied the allegations.
Is Trump's era the start of a new world order?
Donald Trump is set to take the oath as the elected president of the United States. In the current era, nearly every country in the world has some form of relationship with others. These relationships can be either friendly or adversarial, meaning that every country, especially major powers, has interests intertwined with others. Accordingly, the United States, the world’s largest economy and military power, has commercial, military, and even ideological ties or conflicts with nearly every country. These relationships also experience ups and downs. It is important to note that those who believe that US foreign policy does not change regardless of which party forms the government are influenced by outdated thinking. Such thinking is old-fashioned, a relic of the Cold War era, when the US maintained consistent policies toward the Soviet Union and the countries in the socialist bloc, regardless of which party was in power. However, that bloc has now collapsed, and even large socialist countries like China are now operating under free-market principles.
Trudeau's Political Journey: A Legacy of Ambition, Controversy, and Shifting Alliances
Justin Pierre James Trudeau's political life began in the cradle. Born Christmas Day, 1971, to Margaret Sinclair and Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Canada's 15th prime minister, their eldest son grew up in the spotlight and an atmosphere of privilege. Now, he's out in the cold, abandoned by his closest allies and maligned by his opponents as Canada, too, joins the global anti-incumbent mood.
How Israel will soon become a liability for its allies
Hamas or Netanyahu's government cannot solely be blamed for the recent killings of Palestinians and Israelis; Western hands are also stained with blood. However, it is true that on October 7, Palestinian fighters launched an attack on Israeli settlements near the Gaza Strip. But this attack did not start from any specific place, nor was there any prior warning. Israel claims that it did not provoke the attack, but how believable that is remains uncertain. Western governments are well aware of how much the Palestinians in Gaza have been provoked. These governments have been supporting Israel’s decades-long ethnic cleansing campaigns against the Palestinians.
Rakhine’s Path to Sovereignty and Its Implications for Bangladesh
The growing strength of the Arakan Army (AA) and its territorial gains in Myanmar’s Rakhine State have raised the prospect of the region eventually becoming a sovereign entity. While this development could reshape regional geopolitics, it poses significant challenges for neighboring Bangladesh. Rakhine’s strategic location along the Bay of Bengal and its role as Myanmar’s maritime gateway make its future a critical concern for Bangladesh’s security, economy, and stability.
