What does Trump want to achieve, and how is he faring?

1. Ukraine: He claimed he would settle the matter within 24 hours, as Zelensky and Putin would listen to him... It's clear they are both playing him, and the war is still ongoing.

2. Houthis in Yemen: A completely unnecessary war, as they had been inactive at sea since Trump took office. Trump stirred up a hornet's nest, and even daily bombardments have yielded no results. There are now daily attacks on ships. This week, the Houthis even managed to threaten an aircraft carrier to such an extent that it had to make a sharp turn. The turn was so sharp that an F-18 fell off the deck into the sea.

3. Import tariff war against China... It looks bad for Trump, as China doesn't seem impressed. This conflict is damaging both parties. China's claims on Taiwan have also not disappeared.

4. Escalating feud with Canada... The purpose of this will likely be a topic of much discussion for future scholars. In any case, Trump completely disrupted the political climate within Canada, and the American economy is taking heavy blows. Canada continues to resist and refuses to give up.

5. Iranian nuclear weapons... It was Trump who torpedoed the existing deal with Iran during his first term. The problem has only worsened as a result, and a solution now seems only achievable through military means.

6. The import tariffs against essentially the rest of the world. We are now 100 days into his term, and no agreements have been reached. (According to Trump, he has made deals with 200 of the 192 countries contacted.) Not a single deal has been concluded. How could it be otherwise, as there is no clear objective for these agreements? There is no serious basis for the import tariffs.
