- U.S. Oil Strategy: Trump asserts, “We are now running Venezuela,” aiming to control the country's oil resources and rebuild infrastructure, a move that could trigger instability in international markets.
- Security Threat to China: China perceives U.S. actions as a threat, leading to heightened military strategies, particularly regarding Taiwan, indicating an escalation in great power competition.
