Trump is now the president of the world's most powerful country, with much greater authority than in his previous term because his party controls the House and Senate. What are the direct effects on the Arab region? This analysis is based on his actual actions, not just his statements.
1. Ending the U.S. role as the "World’s Policeman"
The U.S. will no longer provide protection or support for developing countries, international organizations, or human rights. Military presence in the Middle East will be reduced, leading to a gradual withdrawal. Instead, greater power will be given to key allies: Israel, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. This means weaker nations should be cautious in the coming period. Regarding Palestine, Trump does not want more wars.
2. Raising Tariffs on Chinese Imports
Trump will increase tariffs on Chinese imports by 60%, which will cause a sharp rise in the prices of Chinese products worldwide due to higher production costs and supply chain shifts. For example, an item that used to cost $100 will now cost $160. It’s best to look for local alternatives, as even Chinese goods will become luxury items.
China exports $500 billion worth of goods to the U.S. annually but only $12 billion to countries like Egypt. So, China's losses will be compensated by raising prices globally, not just in the U.S.
3. A Large-Scale Deportation Campaign
From Day One, Trump will launch a major deportation campaign by empowering ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), local law enforcement, and border control. Anyone violating immigration laws—especially those with legal issues—will face immediate deportation without hearings or asylum case delays, unlike before.
4. Regional Expansion and Economic Pressure
Trump wants to expand U.S. control over Canada, Greenland, and Panama to strengthen the economy and national security. This is not just political talk—economic pressure will be applied. Trump believes Canada benefits from $200 billion in U.S. economic advantages and wants to reclaim them. In response, Canada plans to impose $150 billion in tariffs on the U.S. However, the stronger economy will win, meaning Canada’s economy will suffer, and those with businesses or family there may feel the impact.
Final Thought
All of this happens by God’s will and power, but this is an analysis based on the team Trump has chosen for his administration.
