California Governor Newsom wrote today: "Is Trump deliberately trying to destroy all our international partnerships?"
Newsom shared a report from a U.S. media outlet: "Today, Trump met with German Chancellor Merkel in the White House Oval Office and threatened to cut all trade relations with Spain, after Spain refused to allow U.S. military use of its military bases for military action against Iran. Trump also said he was very dissatisfied with the UK."
Comments: Trump has turned "America First" into "America Alone," thinking that holding military bases and trade leverage in his hands would make the whole world obey him. But even traditional allies like Germany and Spain dare to say "no," which precisely proves that unilateralism is not popular. If you don't comply, I'll cut trade; if you don't cooperate, I'll threaten. This crude transactional logic undermines the alliance system that the United States has painstakingly cultivated for decades. Today, mocking Spain and confronting the UK, who would dare to be your true friend tomorrow? In the end, only a lonely person and a ruined international reputation remain.
