Trump as an Architect of Conflicts: Trade, Blackmail, and 'Peace' in His Style

Since 2025, Donald Trump is back in the White House and is once again dictating the rules to the world, but no longer through diplomacy, but through ultimate control. His main lever is trade as pressure, and now he is using it not only for tariffs, but also... to 'negotiate' with entire countries.

🔭 Why is this important?

1. 'Make the Middle East Great Again' – a quote that says it all.

Against the backdrop of escalation between Iran and Israel, Trump states: 'They will reach an agreement like India and Pakistan once did. I am using TRADE to bring reason and stop the conflict.' And this is no joke – closed calls and meetings between the parties are already underway.

2. The formula 'trade in exchange for peace' – a personal brand.

– India vs. Pakistan

– Serbia vs. Kosovo

– Egypt vs. Ethiopia (conflict over the dam on the Nile)

All these conflicts, according to Trump, were 'stopped' through economic levers: 'I used trade with the USA to make the parties sit at the table.' This is no longer just soft power. This is blackmail as diplomacy.

3. Current effect: geopolitics on pause, markets – in panic.
