“We want peace on earth,” said Donald Trump a few days before the November 5 presidential election. Here he is elected, about to return to the White House on January 20, 2025, with two major sources of crisis: the conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East, where Gaza continues to be occupied by the Israeli army. If the migration issue promises to be the absolute priority at the start of the mandate, Donald Trump and his advisers are simultaneously considering these two international crises, with much more complex ramifications than the billionaire campaign claimed.
Donald Trump seems to approach both questions in a very practical way: what is the most easily achievable potential success? What conflict can end at the start of his presidency, to illustrate a change of era? “I think the Middle East is an easier problem to deal with than what is happening with Russia and Ukraine”explained the president-elect in an interview with the magazine Timecarried out at the end of November. While he had promised to resolve the war in Ukraine in twenty-four hours, during his campaign, Donald Trump seems to have been overtaken by the reality of the conflict. During his meetings with European leaders, where he was for once very attentive, his ambition resembles more a freezing of war than a large-scale multilateral negotiation, which would rewrite the terms of security in Europe.
