American influence still exists around the world. As a developed country and a tested friend of democracy, America still stands tall. However, it cannot be said with certainty that it will always be the same. Other countries, such as China and Russia, are now sharing in America's monopoly. Moreover, American domestic politics is also playing a role in the current state of America. Before we go into the details, let's take a look at why America is still undoubtedly the best.
Many believe that China will emerge as an influencer in the way the Chinese economy moves forward. Even if it is a little late, this idea may be correct. But with that in mind, can we ignore the current state of America? Maybe not.
More than 60 percent of the world's financial transactions are still in dollars. Is there still a strong alternative currency against the dollar? The dominance of the dollar around the world is still undeniable. For all these reasons, America is ahead in economic competition for strategic reasons. This is being hailed as a major breakthrough since Trump's tax cut bill was approved on December 22. That being said, it would be much better for small or medium traders. Many jobs will be created. America's middle-income people will be much better off. But the most significant thing is that about two and a half trillion US dollars can be returned to the country, which is due to the additional taxes abroad.
On the other hand, if we talk about military power, it turns out that the United States still has the highest financial allocation for the military, which is about 4 times that of China. There is still no way to underestimate America's influence in water-land-space-everywhere. Their navy is still the best in the world. America has also maintained its strong position in terms of political influence. The United States still provides the most financial and military aid in the world, which is about ৫০ 50 billion in 2015. Although Donald Trump has been cutting back on aid since coming to power. The United Kingdom, on the other hand, is the second largest donor in the world. Without it, America is still far ahead in terms of innovation. All famous technology companies are located in America. They are now self-sufficient in fuel. Still the best in the world in terms of education and research. Its impact on culture and way of life is observed all over the world. Considering all this, do we see the alternative power of America?
But it is not that America is not facing challenges in the world. As China's influence grows, so does the pressure on the United States. For example, there is tension between the two countries over the South China Sea. There is disagreement with Russia on the Sharia issue. 127 more countries have been added to the new list. The reason for saying this is that these countries did not support the United States in the UN General Assembly on the Jerusalem issue. In December, the Australian prime minister was asked during a question-and-answer session whether he disagreed with Trump on the Jerusalem issue. In that case, he made it clear that Trump promised in the election, and he did. In that case, Australia has nothing to say. That was proved by refraining from voting for them. The few countries that voted for America are also dependent or related to America in one way or another.
On the other hand, America has also informed its country's decision. He threatened to cut off aid to those who did not vote for him. Trump has directly said that the billions of dollars that were given to his country will now be used for the development of the country. Meanwhile, despite such threats, countries in the Muslim world, especially Jordan, have already said they have no choice but to oppose the issue without providing assistance. He also said that America helps them for strategic reasons. If help doesn't come, they won't help as much as America needs. However, some countries are in a state of panic. Again, Trump may want to help those who listen to him; Even in the case of controversial decisions. Now it may be understood who is America's friend in any situation. America extends a helping hand to increase its loyalty to its country.
After Trump's victory as President of the United States, newspapers began to print regularly - Trump's farewell bell. Sometimes because of women scandals or lies, sometimes because of making contradictory remarks because someone is not qualified to be president. But celebrity Trump knows best how to be in the headlines. There is no day where he is not being written about. Whether it is good or bad. But remember, Trump is a democratically elected president. May disagree with him; But there is no reason not to accept democracy.
Russia is playing a big diplomatic trick, for which many have blamed Hillary Clinton. Russia has intervened to win Trump - something Hillary Clinton has always claimed. It is still pending. Some people involved in Trump's election campaign have already resigned. Only time will tell which is correct. But the fact that Russia is able to influence the American democratic process is no less important. That is why American domestic politics is now spending a lot of time on anti-Russian propaganda. It should not be difficult to understand that Russia is benefiting from it to strengthen its position as a world power.
Now the question is, is America going to lose its influence completely? Or is it a kind of political strategy? Or a strategy to reduce foreign aid to make America's first slogan work? Or just declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel in keeping with election promises? Or could there be more stagnation in the Middle East? These things are coming to my notice. But the biggest question that keeps popping into my head is - what if America really stopped helping? What will happen to developing countries like ours, which depend heavily on aid?
First of all, in this modern age, no one can walk alone, no matter how powerful. In that argument, America cannot go it alone. If America wants to retain its dominance in global trade, it will not be able to operate outside the trade partnership. If not, countries like China, Russia or Germany, France could easily expand their business activities around the world. The divisions within the Muslim world may be narrowing. Then another strong integrated economic power structure can be created. Underdeveloped and developing countries can then change parties for the sake of their interests. The most important thing is that a strong anti-American propaganda could be launched around the world at that time, which would not only reduce the current influence of the United States, but also raise the ultimate possibility of military power. And all of this will have an impact on the American economy. So it is no longer possible to walk alone.
According to US Aid's website, in 2016, US Aid provided ৬ 263 million in aid to Bangladesh, of which 98 percent was in the economic sector and the rest in the military sector. Provides financial assistance for various projects such as health and population, agriculture etc. It is true that American assistance is important for the economic and social development of Bangladesh. But since Trump came to power, that aid has dwindled. America is also involved with our textile industry. America is a big market for textiles. Many Bangladeshi students go to America for higher education every year. Come back and work for the development of the country. According to data obtained in 2016, more than two and a half million first and second generation Bangladeshis live in the United States. In this case, if the Trump administration wants, then Bangladeshis may have to face many challenges. However, Bangladesh is now more mature than before. Bangladesh knows how to stand up.
It is true that no one can be powerful alone now. Some may become financially, some may become technologically, some may become influential in the military. So no matter how much it wants, America will not be able to exert a single influence like before if it wants to. Whenever the influence of a single power begins to break, many will come forward. Countries will be able to learn how to live like themselves. In a sense, it is good that many will come out of the culture of dependence. It's a lot like 'eat it yourself'. And if he wants to do so, he can do so by proving his strength through a bloody war. However, no one in the beautiful world would want this approach. The fact that he will win if he gets involved in the war again can no longer be said out loud. The opposition is now getting stronger day by day. Global politics is also changing every moment
