Allies Push Back on Trump Gaza Peace Plan and Global Tariff Agenda
Allies like Israel and the UK are pushing back against the Trump Gaza peace plan and Greenland-related tariffs, signaling a period of intense geopolitical friction.
The honeymoon phase is over before it even began. As the Trump administration's foreign policy takes a concrete shape in early 2026, key allies from the Middle East to Europe are signaling deep dissatisfaction with Washington's new direction.
Israel’s Backlash to the Trump Gaza Peace Plan
In Israel, the reaction to the proposed Trump Gaza peace plan has been unexpectedly cold. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich hasn't minced words, stating the plan is "bad for Israel." According to Al Jazeera, this internal dissent highlights the friction between Trump's desire for a quick deal and the Israeli right-wing's security red lines, especially as questions loom over Phase 2 of the ceasefire.
Tariff Disputes and Humanitarian Crises
Across the Atlantic, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned Trump’s proposed tariffs linked to Greenland, calling them "completely wrong." The move marks a significant cooling in the special relationship as London resists Trump's transactional approach to trade and territory.
The geopolitical instability extends further. Guatemala has declared a 30-day state of emergency following deadly prison riots. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, Russia is reportedly weaponizing the freezing winter weather, targeting energy grids to pressure the civilian population.
