Trump’s attempts to resolve global conflicts quickly face a diplomatic reality

When it comes to facing global conflicts, President Trump is a man in a hurry.

Even before its inauguration, the President claimed what he called the “ceasefire” in Gaza. He raced to get Ukraine and Russia to quickly adopt fighting. With Iran, Mr. Trump wants an agreement Within two months To prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon.

It is the external political version of the “Flood the Zone” approach to the president in Washington, where he and his lieutenant used Blitzkrieg tactics to dismantle bureaucracy, promote executive authority and attack his political enemies. Also on the global theater, Mr. Trump adopted an approach to foreign policy in a hurry to resolve the conflicts he inherited quickly.

But his diplomatic patience now runs his head in the complexity of war and peace, which raises questions about the durability of what he has achieved so far. The ceasefire between Gaza and Israel collapsed. Mr. Trump’s proposal for a 30 -day ceasefire was rejected by President Vladimir F. Putin from Russia. It appears that an Iranian nuclear agreement – is not different from the one from which he withdrew during his first term in his position – remains away from the horizon despite pushing him to a quick deal.

“Trump Mo will always be in a hurry, looking for the deal, for the temporary, for now,” said Aaron David Miller, a former Middle East negotiator and his colleague in Carnegie International Peace.

“The American foreign policy – Ukraine, Gaza, Iran – has not been measured in terms of departments. It is time for generations,” said Mr. Miller. He added that rushing to a solution was risky, “because in a hurry to obtain results, it is a kind of diagnosis of the problem.”

The president’s allies reject this evaluation. They argue that his approach is designed to create momentum to blur what they call sarcasm “the international system based on the rules” that dominated the global foreign policy for decades. In addition to Iran, Israel and Ukraine, they noticed that Mr. Trump was shocked by the world with threats to use force to control both Greenland and Panama.

Stephen K. said. Bannon, the former Trump administration strategy expert, in an interview: “Geologically, all this gas, not brakes.” He said that the president sends assistants – what he calls “shock forces” – to quickly confront global conflicts in the same way that Elon Musk and a government ministry were published within the federal government.

“What he does geographically and geographically economically, it greatly exceeds what he does locally,” said Mr. Bannon. “If you look in all fields, the way of its madness is deep, it is meaningful, and it will have the largest effects of national security.”

The president’s pushing for momentum was at the heart of his approach to the most severe global conflicts in recent times: fighting throughout the year between Hamas and Israel in Gaza; And a three -year war started when Russia invaded Ukraine.

In both, Mr. Trump has repeatedly blamed former President Joseph R. Biden Junior due to his failure to prevent – then move quickly enough to solve – conflicts. In his speech in a joint session of Congress earlier this month, the president boasted that “a lot of things occur in the Middle East.” From the struggle in Ukraine, his patience declared: “It is time to stop this madness. It is time to stop killing. It is time to end this meaningless war.”

Keleford d. May, founder of the Democrats Defense Foundation, Mr. Trump appears to be keen to overcome global crises so that he can focus his attention elsewhere.

Mr. May said: “It is preferable to warm him to wake up. It is preferable to immigrate.” “He wanted this from his plate.”

But he said that Mr. Trump for a solution in Ukraine “hit a great speed” in the form of Mr. Putin. In a phone call on Tuesday, the Russian leader criticized the brakes on Mr. Trump’s desire for a rapid ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine, and only agreed to stop the attacks on energy infrastructure.

Mr. May said that Mr. Putin is playing on Mr. Trump’s desire for a quick solution by intentionally slowing the efforts of the American President to disrupt the current situation that was present throughout the war.

“The disorder is likely to be useful in some cases,” said Mr. May. But when it does not do, as with a person like Putin, who is smart, who is patient, who sees what you do, who is trying to play you, “then you may have to retreat and say, well, what is the plan here?”

In Israel, Mr. Trump used his social media platform to push for a quick truce show before taking office. Even the resumption of Israeli attacks in Gaza this week, the President praised his efforts in the peace industry, so that with the attachments of the journalists that he deserves to win the Nobel Peace Prize for his work.

He added, “They will never give me.”

Mr. Bannon rejected the idea that the collapse of the ceasefire in Gaza is evidence that the president’s desire to reform in the region led to a fight of fighting was not sustainable or solid. He said that Mr. Trump’s support for Israel – and his unambiguous condemnation in Gaza – gave Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, more freedom to make war.

Mr. Banoun said of Hamas: “In fact, he has shown the world,” hey, you cannot deal with these people, they are not trustworthy. ”Then Israel comes and now you do not see any fire storm like you at first.

Other US foreign policy observers have said that although there is an advantage in moving quickly when it comes to global diplomacy, which can often stimulate procedures that are not based on strong information.

Lawrence Friedman, a professor of war studies of Fakhirin at King College in London, said the problem with the president’s desire to urge is that it limits detailed and hard work often required usually a long -term solution to wars.

Mr. Friedman said: “He thinks if he is superior to enough, then people will fall somewhat and you can reach the things you really want to do.” “But because it does not depend on a serious assessment of the situation – for the problems raised – it really does not work.”

Mr. Miller said that Mr. Trump is less interested in a long -term solution than the short -term political benefit he gets from announcing the diplomatic achievement.

He said: “I got an unusual reckless person, as it is important, frankly, more than politics.”
