The major powers of the Old Continent must now face a threat that could reshape global trade balances.

The foreign policy of the United States could undergo a major shift. As diplomatic tensions between Washington and Moscow have intensified in recent years, Donald Trump appears ready to rewrite the rules of the game.

The idea of an income tax has long been a pillar of the tax policy in the United States. However, Donald Trump intends to challenge this model and proposes to completely replace it with an import tax system. A study conducted by Dancing Numbers claims that this project could generate significant savings for Americans, amounting to $134,809 per individual, and up to $325,561 by eliminating other levies on labor income. But this proposal, if it were to materialize, would not be without consequences for both consumers and the overall economy. Between the promise of increased purchasing power and the risks of trade tensions, this tax reform is already a subject of debate.

A spectacular figure, but quickly contested by several media outlets: the contract in question was actually worth only 8 million dollars.
The dominance of the US dollar in international trade is being challenged more than ever. A powerful bloc, the BRICS, is actively seeking to free itself from this by developing an alternative currency. In response to this offensive, Donald Trump, true to his style, does not intend to remain a spectator. The American president is wielding the threat of massive economic sanctions to deter any attempt to undermine the hegemony of the greenback. But can this strategy truly reverse the trend, or is it likely to accelerate the ongoing dynamics?

The BRICS continue to redefine the global geopolitical landscape. As the group expands and seeks to strengthen its influence, its relations with the West become strained. The latest episode: Iran, a new member of the bloc, has categorically rejected any negotiation with the United States. "Negotiating with America does not solve any of our problems," Tehran stated. This is a firm refusal of any diplomatic opening with Washington. This positioning, much more than a simple political statement, illustrates a growing rift between the BRICS and Western powers.
