«A retórica de Trump mantém-se e a sua estratégia de ambiguidade também»

“Trump’s rhetoric remains the same, and so does his strategy of ambiguity.” Pedro Borges Lemos, an expert in International Law, spoke on NOW about the current escalation of tension in the Middle East and the fragility of the existing memorandum of understanding for a possible ceasefire. He emphasized that the rhetoric of the current US administration maintains a pattern of ambiguity, although there is still no formal or institutional denunciation of the peace agreement. Despite the recent attacks and violations on the ground, the scenario is seen as a strategic warning to accelerate negotiations, demanding greater concessions from both sides involved. The resilience of the Iranian nation was strongly highlighted, especially due to the large popular mobilization in the recent funeral processions of leading figures. Additionally, Pedro Borges Lemos addressed the conclusions of the most recent NATO summit, noting the strengthening of Article 5 and the maintenance of financial support to Ukraine. However, serious doubts have been raised about the true cohesion of the transatlantic alliance, given the severe criticism leveled by the President of the United States against several member states. The need to strengthen the defense of Europe by the end of the next decade was also debated. #WarInTheMiddleEast #InternationalLaw #Ceasefire #PeaceAgreement #NATO #DefenseOfEurope #Ukraine #MiddleEast #ForeignPolicy #InternationalRelations #Geopolitics #WashingtonTreaty #Diplomacy #MultipolarSystem #NOW
