The unpredictable rhetoric of Donald Trump could cause a disaster in global politics, according to those relying on the United States's presence. Countries across the world were given a taste of what the president is willing to do for his administration when he levelled threats at Greenland and captured Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro. Peter Mortensen, a family therapist and psychologist from Denmark, told Politico that the US he once knew is no more and that looking to the country for support is no longer an option. He said, "I talk to more people up here who say that our original belief that we can trust the United States and that they will always be there, they’re a strong force in the world — that has been shattered really seriously."Donald Trump is so unpredictable that whatever he takes as a personal insult he can make into a geopolitical crisis." Trump would write a letter to Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre earlier this year after failing to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Canada could be stirring Trump's wrath against the world, too, by aiding Nuuk and its residents. Politico columnists Mike Blanchfield and Calder McHugh wrote, "Opening a Canadian consulate in Nuuk, the capital of the autonomous territory of Greenland in the Kingdom of Denmark, has been in the works for over a year. "But the timing, coinciding with both another round of menacing from U.S. President Donald Trump and bracing talk at Davos by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney of the need to forge new alliances, is not lost on anyone here."Into that vacuum arrives Canada. Their new strategy of working harder to be a player on the world stage, building alliances and offering security guarantees that they once left to the United States, is taking shape in Nuuk. "Canada’s outreach to their Arctic neighbor could well be the beginning of the country’s attempt to build their own international bona fides and wriggle out of Trump’s shadow."
