„We can see the tactics of madness applied in a variety of historical contexts, and in particular at the moment. However, unlike President Nixon, who remained in diplomacy with these seemingly irrational messages and power projection to deter the enemy - President Trump preferred to start by surprising his own allies and thus send a message to the whole world“.
This was commented on the air of „120 minutes“ Gergana Passy, president of "PanEurope" and former Minister for European Affairs.
According to her, Trump's messages to Canada, Greenland, and Panama show that we are entering an era that we do not know and for which we are partially prepared after the first term of the new old president.
According to Passy, he is currently making requests for a different profile and for a much more loyal team with which he will implement them.
Elena Poptodorova, our country's long-time ambassador to the United States, believes that under Trump's administration we will see the "Nixon" doctrine implemented - in relation to Asia and mainly Vietnam.
„This is the moment when America must emerge from the terrible war in Vietnam. The doctrine boils down to this: every Asian country, which will be supported by the US in the most benevolent way, must take responsibility only for its own defense and security, Poptodorova commented.
„What Trump will now introduce is the "Nixon" doctrine. It already exists in Asia, but it will now also transfer to Europe,“ she said.
Elena Poptodorova believes that a policy of strengthening the US dollar as the main reserve currency in the world will begin, there will be a strengthening of American production and the country's technological development.
According to Gergana Passy, Trump and his team will do many useful things for Americans and their country.
"This team sees the world as a collection of fortresses with high walls that must defend themselves," she said.
In her words, Europe must urgently react by raising defense spending.
