Trump’s First Day in Office Will “Raise Concerns All Over the World About His Policies”

Trump's first day in office "will raise concerns all over the world about his policies": Meera Shankar, former Ambassador to the United States of America, to Karan Thapar for The Wire. .......................................... One of India’s most highly regarded former Ambassadors to the United States has said that several aspects of Donald Trump’s inaugural speech and his swathe of executive orders will “raise concerns all over the world over how his policies will play out”. Meera Shankar was referring to Trump’s claim in his inaugural speech that America will “take back” the Panama Canal and rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. She said such assertions will cause great concern in Latin America. Mrs. Shankar also agreed that Trump’s statement about taking back the Panama Canal will worry the Danes and the Canadians, who will now wonder just how serious he was about claiming Greenland and making Canada the 51st state of the United States. In a 20-minute interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, Mrs. Shankar said Trump’s executive order pardoning nearly 1,600 people – that’s practically everyone – connected with the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots, including those who violently assaulted police officers, smashed windows or damaged Congressional offices, has sent out “a strong partisan political” message which will divide opinion in America. His supporters will applaud the decision. Others will view it very differently. I am deliberately highlighting only two aspects of what Mrs. Shankar said. There’s a lot more in the interview which focusses entirely on Trump’s inaugural speech and his first day in office, the highlight of which was the blitz of executive orders he signed. Mrs. Shankar was also asked to comment on Trump’s claim that he was saved by God to make America great again. What does that tell us about how Trump views himself?
