Trump’s Greenland and Venezuela moves may reflect billionaire court politics as much as U.S. strategy, amid the order’s collapse.
A doctored map showing U.S. claims on Venezuela, Greenland, and Canada underscores the breakdown of the postwar rules-based order, which Mark Carney says is giving way to great-power rivalry. The video traces that order from the 1941 Atlantic Charter and 1944 Bretton Woods to the UN, noting its gains in peace, trade, and poverty reduction alongside selective enforcement and the damage done by Russia’s invasions, U.S. tariffs, and other powers. One explanation for Trump’s actions is a return to spheres of influence: consolidating U.S. power in the Western Hemisphere to compete with China and Russia. But Venezuela’s costly oil, existing U.S. access to Greenland, and tariffs on China’s rival India complicate that logic. Professors Stacy Goddard and Abraham Newman propose a neo-royalist lens: policy may serve ruling cliques and donors, including refinery interests and Greenland-connected billionaires. The video concludes that weakened institutions could bring more volatile tariffs, sanctions, and wars, while a future leader might rebuild a liberal order.
