• The swearing in of Donald Trump marks the beginning of an era of uncertainty in the US with near-absolute powers.
• This era is characterized by a new world order based on national retreat, the law of the strongest, and unilateral competition for resources.
• The management of international relations will be based on transactional alliances instead of multilateralism.
• Threats against European partners and possible use of force to occupy Greenland demonstrate the conditional nature of these alliances.
• Trump's geopolitical impact is already palpable, exemplified by the ceasefire in Gaza and Iran's decline in the Middle East.

Conclusion: It is hoped that the business logic applied to diplomacy will result in pragmatism and negotiating capacity, avoiding a damaging trade war for global interest.
