A Year of Historic Shift

2025 will be remembered as a year of historic shift in global developments, primarily due to the assumption of the US presidency by Donald Trump. Trump's policies, both domestically and externally, have led to the overturning of established institutions and procedures. The rise of China and Russia has ended the US's unipolar hegemony, creating a tripolar world. Russia is focused on Ukraine, China on its economic and military development and the 'Silk Road', while the US seeks to maintain its influence and counter China. The battle for global power is focused on the areas of economy, energy, rare earths, water and food production.
