How Trump’s Actions Affected America’s Friends Around the World 🌍
Hey there! Have you ever wondered how countries become friends? Just like making friends at school, countries build friendships by working together and helping each other! 🤝
Between 2017 and 2021, the United States had a president named Donald Trump. His decisions changed how America interacted with other countries. Let’s explore how! 🔍
“America First” 🌐
President Trump often talked about “America First.” This meant he wanted to focus on what’s best for the United States, sometimes even if other countries didn’t agree. While it’s important to care about your own country, working together with others is also super important! 🌟
Changes with Old Friends 👫
Some of America’s closest friends are in Europe, like the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. These countries often work together on big problems. But during Trump’s time, some of these friendships got a bit shaky. He sometimes said things that upset these countries, or made decisions without talking to them first. 😕
NATO and Teamwork 🛡️
NATO (which stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is a group where countries agree to protect each other. It’s like a big team! Trump questioned how much the U.S. should be involved, which made other team members worried. Imagine if your best friend said they might not help you in a game anymore—that would feel uncertain, right? 🎲
Talking with Russia 🇷🇺
Russia is a big country that sometimes doesn’t get along with the U.S. Trump tried to have better relations with Russia, but he didn’t always include America’s other friends in these talks. This made some countries feel left out or concerned. 😮
Why It Matters 💭
When countries don’t get along, it can make solving global problems harder. Things like protecting the environment, stopping wars, and helping people in need require teamwork! 🏆
What Can We Learn? 📚
Friendship and teamwork are important, whether it’s between people or countries. Listening to others, cooperating, and being considerate can make the world a better place! 🌈
Remember, leaders and their choices can shape how countries interact. It’s always good to stay informed and understand what’s happening in the world! 🌎
