Resumen

Este artículo examina las repercusiones de las políticas económicas, exteriores y científicas
del presidente Donald Trump en su segundo gobierno, centrándose en la escalada arancelaria
y el debilitamiento de las alianzas, y sus repercusiones en la economía estadounidense
y mundial. A partir de diversas fuentes, como análisis económicos y opiniones de expertos,
se explora cómo las medidas proteccionistas repercuten en los indicadores económicos, el
comportamiento de los consumidores y las relaciones internacionales. Las conclusiones sugieren
que las agresivas estrategias arancelarias han provocado un aumento de la incertidumbre
económica, han perturbado las cadenas de suministro mundiales y han tensado los lazos
diplomáticos, socavando potencialmente la estabilidad económica a largo plazo de Estados
Unidos. El debilitamiento del poder blando estadounidense (cierre de USAID, Voz de América,
Fundación Interamericana, etc.), la retirada de agencias y acuerdos de la ONU (Acuerdo
de París, OMS, UNESCO, UNRWA) y el diezmamiento de las instituciones de investigación
científica abren la puerta a otras potencias, en particular China y Rusia.
