Donald Trump's foreign policy is changing global politics. It moves away from multilateral deals and liberal values. Instead, it focuses on direct, bilateral agreements based on national interests.
This shift creates a new opportunity for Germany, analysts suggest. In a world less tied to U.S.-led alliances, Germany could re-emerge as a major independent power in Europe.
The new approach prioritizes practical deals over shared ideals. It considers geography, culture, and economics above political values. This could allow Germany to build its own strategic and economic partnerships.
