Trump's return reshapes global alliances as leaders adjust to new U.S. dynamics
Donald Trump’s return to the presidency is reshaping global alliances. Leaders like Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu and India's Narendra Modi are expected to benefit from closer ties with the U.S., while Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy faces uncertainty over military support.
Netanyahu anticipates stronger U.S. backing for Israel, contrasting with the previous administration's concerns over military aid. Modi may find relief from scrutiny over his policies, while Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman seeks renewed security agreements.
Conversely, Ukraine's Zelenskyy fears reduced support amid ongoing conflict with Russia. Iran and China also brace for tougher U.S. policies, while leaders like Mexico's Claudia Sheinbaum and Britain's Keir Starmer prepare for potential trade challenges under Trump’s administration.
