Dow Jones Influences Trump More Than His Allies

The article analyzes the influence of economic indicators, such as the Dow Jones, on US President Donald Trump and how this affects his foreign policy. The author argues that Trump, as a businessman, places great importance on the economic situation and adjusts his decisions accordingly. His approach to Greenland, where he initially expressed interest in buying it but then toned down his rhetoric, is attributed to the influence of stock market indices. Furthermore, the article refers to Trump's tendency to provoke crises and manage them to his advantage, as well as the creation of his own “Peace Council” alongside the United Nations. The author expresses skepticism about the effectiveness of this Council and argues that Trump is seeking to undermine the role of the United Nations.
