Trump, master of geoeconomics manoeuvring

Most analysts dismiss Trump as ephemeral. Speaking one thing and later talking something entirely different. He is also perceived as bombastic, narcissus and most volatile US President so far. Let me tell you: Trump means business: MAGA. Here are master manoeuvres he has made recently in geoeconomics:

Firstly, he met Vlad in Anchorage, Alaska in 15 August 2025. An optic that rattled the European vassals but gave a fillip to US industry. The intention is not to resolve the Ukraine issue, but to further US interest

In the second step he was threatening that, if Vlad does not stop hostilities he is coming out with additional sanctions over Russia.

Thirdly, he put the feeler to NATO members that they have to cough up more for defence. Nothing mentioned about any US offensive assistance financially.

Fourth he conveyed to EU that it is they who should sanction Russia most because US-Russia trade is marginal now.

Fifth he said Russia cannot be beaten unless China is also brought to bear the consequences of supporting the former by way of strong geoeconomics relationship.

Sixthly, he thundered that he is ready to sanction Russia terribly if she does not spare Ukraine altogether.

Seventh Trump conceded that Ukraine war is not an American one but initiated by Europe.

Eighth stroke is the decisive master move. He asked Europe to stop buying Russian oil directly or indirectly.

Ninth manoeuvre is connected to the eighth one in that Trump instructed EU to impose huge tariff on Chinese goods that they buy.

Tenth and final master manoeuvre arose when Trump declared that unless EU imposes tariff on China along with total curtailment of buying of oil from Russia, America should wash her hands off Ukraine war business and let that be carried thru by the European partners. In sum US QUIS.

No European power can continue the Ukraine war without US participation. Moreover, without US geoeconomics shield the Europeans are defenceless be in times of war or peace.

Finally the world is awakened to the fact that Trump was cunningly taking step-by step manoeuvres in getting America extricated from the geoeconomics mess, the Biden Administration created for which Americans are paying dearly.

I thought Trump is a deal maker only. Now I realize that he has mastered the art of navigating strategy amid geoeconomics. BRAVO!

 

Cheers!
