As Donald J. Trump prepares for his swearing-in as the 47th President of the United States (US) on Monday, January 20, Nigerian former Senator, Shehu Sani has shared his perspective on the event and its potential global implications.
Sani in a statement issued on Monday via his verifed X handle described Trump as a “Disruptor” whose presidency poses significant challenges to the international order.
The senator referenced Trump’s nationalist and business-oriented approach, predicting that his leadership style would create tension on the global stage.
According to Sani, Trump’s presidency marks a shift from conventional diplomacy, as he is likely to “pull the plug or change the plugs” in institutions like the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), and NATO.
“He will be feared and not loved and will ultimately face resistance by allies and foes. He will try to reset everything, and that is where the discomfort will come,” Sani remarked.
