Have the US and Russia divided the world? Donald Trump's second term is a wonderful gift for the Kremlin

According to some media outlets and analysts, Donald Trump's second term is a "gift" for Vladimir Putin. This opinion is supported by a number of facts and some "disguised theories". Some claim that the two leaders divided the world back in Alaska, but whether this is so remains to be seen, writes Focus.

According to Die Welt, US aid to Ukraine has dried up and the withdrawal of Americans from the continent is a realistic scenario. Donald Trump refused to give "Tomahawk" missiles to Ukraine because "he doesn't want to part with things that the US needs".

He was disappointed several times by both Zelensky and Putin. A few days ago, Donald Trump blamed the president of Ukraine, not the Russian leader, for the inability to end the war in Ukraine.

Russia has repeatedly claimed that the EU is "hindering the peace process", and against the backdrop of these claims, a new scandal is already raging in the world - the annexation of Greenland. Trump said that the island is essential for the US and that Washington needs it to guarantee national security.

Die Welt notes that the American leader could provoke the collapse of NATO by annexing Greenland and start a trade conflict with the European Union. Trump announced that tariffs on eight European countries - Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland - will come into effect on February 1, and the measures will remain in force until the United States reaches an agreement to purchase Greenland from Denmark.

In a joint statement, the affected European countries warned that tariff threats risk damaging transatlantic relations and could cause a dangerous escalation. And some experts predict the collapse of NATO in the near future.

The French president spoke of the potential use of a "trade bazooka against the United States", and the EC president called for "Europe to be ready to change even faster and become more independent".

Axios reported that the signing of the $800 billion plan for Ukraine is being canceled. Ukraine remains in the background at the Davos forum.
