This week, Trump made military moves on two fronts, positioning ships off the coast of North Korea, and firing missiles into a key target in Syria. These quick, emotional moves sent ripples throughout the world markets. Uncertainty in the economy has been further amplified by an ever-extending timeline for tax reform.
Global Political Climate on Edge After Syria Strike
- Tensions with Moscow were at a high point following the US strike against Syira’s self-inflicted gas attack, according to .
- The attack was initiated as more of a warning than a major strategy change.
- Russia had harsh words. A spokesperson stated the US “is the most unpredictable state.”
Officials have stated that the strike from the US was retaliation for using horrifying gas weapons, but did not plan on further strikes or military involvement unless provoked in that way again. The damage and political waves have already been made, however, as the US condemned Russia for not doing a better job of clearing the dangerous sarin gas weapons out of Assad’s hands.
Russia in return called the US strike an “act of aggression against a sovereign state.” These words put a damper that Trump might be the bridge to create a more positive environment with Russia. It seems there are more uncertain and thin ice encounters to be expected in the Trump era.
