A new poll released by AP-NORC shows that more than 50% of American adults think Trump has gone ‘too far’ with his use of the U.S. military for foreign interference. It appears as though filming and bragging about the deaths of people, even if they aren’t Americans, is enough to turn away the majority of the population. AP-NORC, a centre run by the Associated Press, conducted the poll from January 8-11, shortly after the U.S. captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The poll found that 56% of American adults disapproved of Trump’s actions in Venezuela and thought he had overstepped on military interventions abroad, as well as how the Republican Party has handled foreign policy as a whole.

L’Afrique du Sud a ouvert une enquête sur sa décision d’accueillir des navires de guerre iraniens au large des côtes du Cap après que des rumeurs ont fait état du mécontentement de Donald Trump.
Donald Trump a déclenché une nouvelle vague de réactions négatives au sein de l’OTAN avec des remarques remettant en question le rôle de l’alliance en Afghanistan et sa raison d’être plus générale. Dans une interview accordée à Fox News, il a affirmé que les États-Unis « n’avaient pas besoin de l’OTAN », arguant que les troupes alliées restaient en retrait « des lignes de front », des commentaires largement condamnés comme méprisant les sacrifices consentis par les pays partenaires. Les membres de l’OTAN ont souligné les lourdes pertes subies aux côtés des forces américaines après que l’article 5 ait été invoqué pour la première fois. Quelques jours plus tard, Trump a exacerbé les tensions sur Truth Social, suggérant que l’OTAN soit mise « à l’épreuve » en invoquant l’article 5 pour contrer les « invasions d’immigrants illégaux » à la frontière sud des États-Unis, ce qui lui a valu de vives critiques de la part des diplomates et des experts en sécurité.

Donald Trump a exacerbé les tensions avec l’Iran en annonçant le déploiement d’une « armada » navale américaine vers le Moyen-Orient, qualifiant cette mesure de préventive compte tenu des troubles dans le pays. S’exprimant à bord d’Air Force One, il a déclaré : « Nous avons beaucoup de navires qui se dirigent dans cette direction », mais a souligné : « Je préfère qu’il ne se passe rien ». Cette annonce intervient alors que l’Iran est confronté à des manifestations soutenues et à une répression meurtrière. Trump a exprimé son soutien aux manifestants tout en mettant en garde Téhéran, mais il s’est abstenu de toute action militaire, après avoir renoncé à des frappes il y a deux semaines. L’Iran a depuis rejeté comme « totalement fausse » l’affirmation de Trump selon laquelle ses menaces auraient mis fin aux exécutions prévues.
Donald Trump has triggered a fresh backlash across NATO with remarks questioning the alliance’s role in Afghanistan and its broader purpose. In a Fox News interview, he claimed the United States «did not need NATO», arguing allied troops stayed off «the front lines», comments widely condemned as dismissive of sacrifices made by partner nations. NATO members pointed to heavy losses suffered alongside US forces after Article 5 was invoked for the first time. Days later, Trump escalated tensions on Truth Social, suggesting NATO be put «to the test» by invoking Article 5 to counter «Invasions of Illegal Immigrants» at the US southern border, drawing sharp criticism from diplomats and security experts.
Donald Trump a retiré l’invitation du Premier ministre canadien Mark Carney à rejoindre son projet de « Conseil de la paix », une initiative vaguement définie présentée comme axée sur les efforts de paix et la reconstruction de Gaza. Cette décision intervient quelques jours après que les deux dirigeants aient participé au Forum économique mondial de Davos, où Carney a prononcé un discours très applaudi défendant la coopération multilatérale et un ordre mondial fondé sur des règles. Trump a annoncé cette décision sur Truth Social, présentant le conseil comme un forum d’élite dont le siège permanent coûte un milliard de dollars. Cet épisode a mis en évidence le fossé grandissant entre l’approche transactionnelle et nationaliste de Trump et l’appel de Carney à une action collective dans un contexte d’instabilité géopolitique croissante.
Donald Trump has withdrawn Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s invitation to his proposed «Board of Peace», a loosely defined initiative presented as focused on peace efforts and the reconstruction of Gaza. The move came days after both leaders attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, where Carney delivered a widely acclaimed speech defending multilateral cooperation and a rules-based global order. Trump announced the decision on Truth Social, promoting the board as an elite forum with a permanent seat priced at one billion dollars. The episode highlighted a deepening divide between Trump’s transactional, nationalist approach and Carney’s call for collective action amid growing geopolitical instability.
