“…For example, last year, in July, the US President delivered a keynote speech in Poland declaring that he was willing to defend his household, liberty, country, and God. A more in-depth analysis of this speech reveals that it was a return to linguistic vanities that are synonymous with European and American Alt-Right movements (Heer, 2018). This address had undertones of historical populism as well as the current ones especially when Trump rallied his audience with a famous white nationalist phrase, 'We want God.'…”

“…His government is focused on cultivating friendships instead of cutting deals. While in Asia, Trump told the Chinese President, Xi Jinping that their relationship was warm, and he hoped that their two countries would achieve great accomplishments together (Heer, 2018). Trump was similarly enthusiastic about Japanese Premier, Shinzo Abe.…”

“…He even describes rival countries from a personal perspective as proven by his angry tweets concerning North Korea's dictator, Kim Jong Un. From this perspective, it can be stated that Trump regards himself as the critical component of the US foreign policy under his administration (Heer, 2018). For this reason, he believes that good foreign policy is equivalent to having a healthy personal rapport with world leaders.…”

“…Finally, in the Philippines, Trump did not condemn the extrajudicial killings of suspect drug traffickers that were ordered by President Rodrigo Duterte. Furthermore, it was evident that throughout his Asian tour, President Trump did not engage the public directly at any forum (Heer, 2018).…”

The new regime after the 2016 General Election and its advisors are working to establish a white nationalist government in the United States. If their efforts are fruitful, the US and the world as a whole face an unpredictable future. However, a small degree of optimism exists as the process of regime transformation is in its formative phase and the consequences are yet to become apparent. Comprehending the foundation of this precarious course can contribute to the formulation of measures that can facilitate resistance to it, and promote the path to a progressive future. It is widely acknowledged that the rise of right-wing nationalism is not restricted in the US alone. Instead, nations such as Britain, Poland, and Russia have seen an emergence of politics centered on Conservative populism. The core premises of these Right-Wing movements underscore the importance of patriotism, take advantage of the public’s reservations about minority races and denominations. Additionally, White nationalists are convinced that they can resolve existing economic challenges.This paper focuses on how Right-wing nationalists infiltrated mainstream American politics to facilitate the election of an individual who subscribes to their principles in Donald Trump. In this case, the essay details the core factors that contributed to the rise of Conservative nationalists in the country. Furthermore, the essay assesses how Trump's White nationalist background is influencing his and the US' foreign policy. In this context, the paper explores Donald Trump’s behavior on the international stage and his interactions with other world leaders. The paper concludes that Trump’s White nationalist agenda is focused on altering the US foreign policy such that it promotes the Right-wing populism in Europe and supports despots in other parts of the world who can enter bilateral agreements that seek to advance US interests abroad.

Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), is often referred to as a ‘Plan B’ if mitigation strategies to reduce emissions fail and the need to rapidly reduce global temperatures becomes urgent. In theory, SAI would help buy more time to bring carbon and other emissions down while also cooling or keeping the planet below the threshold for dangerous warming, though it is not a solution to the problem of climate change in itself. What little attention it has received in International Relations (IR) is usually focused on the need for governance of the technology and assumes that development and use of the technology will be driven primarily by vulnerability to climate impacts. Through an analysis of common security assumptions and preemptive security framings the article shows that while current assessments of SAI focus on the technology’s environmental impact, broader political and security dynamics, particularly the desire to render climate change more intelligible as a security problem with a solution may have substantial influence on how the technology is used and by whom.
