AI Summary

long article 6 min

Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado at the White House. The meeting occurs amidst speculation about Trump's interest in Venezuelan oil, potentially driven by economic or personal gain. A global survey across 21 countries reveals a growing perception that Trump's "America First" policies are inadvertently bolstering China's global influence. The survey indicates diminished trust in the U.S. as a reliable ally, particularly among European nations, who are increasingly supportive of rearmament. Furthermore, the survey suggests a shift in global power dynamics, with many anticipating China's influence to expand significantly in the coming decade.
