A New Order of Working: Pax Trumpiana

Following the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on January 3, Donald Trump has openly disregarded international law, rendering the United Nations (UN) – a global institution that smaller nations like Mauritius depend on for justice – completely ineffective, similar to how Netanyahu and his allies have treated it since October 2023. In Trump's view, the traditional global framework, the so-called "rules-based order" once overseen by the UN, is an outdated concept. Instead, he has devised a new approach that prioritizes might over mutual agreements, reshaping the geopolitical landscape to favor powerful nations.
