Trump personally designed the itinerary for his first foreign visit: the first stop was Saudi Arabia, where he held talks with the leaders of the six member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council and attended the Arab Islamic Countries - attended by leaders of 50 countries. After the US summit, he visited Israel, Palestine, the Vatican, and Italy, then went to Brussels, Belgium, to attend the NATO summit, and then to Sicily, Italy, to attend the G7 summit.
Trump emphasized, “I hope to establish cooperative relations with Muslims, Christians and Jews through this visit to jointly fight terrorism and bring security, opportunity and stability to the war-torn Middle East. "
Establishing a good cooperative relationship with the three major religions means that Trump will cooperate with nearly half of the world's population, with only one intention - to add obstacles to the "Belt and Road" and allow the United States to once again great.
Muslim countries: The international community generally refers to countries where Islam is the state religion and the majority of residents believe in Islam as Muslim countries. There are 57 of these countries, mainly distributed in the Middle East, the Arabian Peninsula, and Africa, Central Asia, South Asia and other regions.
Among them, the most populous Muslim country is Indonesia, with about 209 million people; the largest Muslim country is Kazakhstan, with a territory of about 2.72 million square kilometers; the Muslim country with the strongest military strength is Iran ranks among the top in the world in terms of oil and gas resource reserves and production.
However, one of the purposes of Trump’s trip is to further isolate and suppress Iran. On the same day that the United States and Saudi Arabia signed a huge arms sales order, Rouhani was re-elected in the Iranian election. Faced with dozens of As an Arab leader, Trump still called Iran a "sanctuary" of terrorism in his speech. It can be seen that in the eyes of President Trump, Muslim countries are by no means treated equally, and "pulling and beating" is his Muslim policy.
A comparison can be found that the 65 countries and regions along the “Belt and Road” just cover all major Muslim countries. Just after the first Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation concluded, Trump took action and acted ruthlessly. His rapid response and fierce offensive cannot but be impressive - Trump again He is no longer the Turkish emperor who casually signed the "ban on Muslims" three months ago!
It’s just that China’s “One Belt and One Road” is an international public product that benefits all countries. “One Belt and One Road” is not an empty slogan, but something that can be seen and touched. specific measures. As some media commented, "China's humanitarian concern is to work with countries along the Belt and Road to eliminate poverty, while the United States' humanitarian concern is to send Tomahawk missiles to people in war."
Previous In recent years, Saudi Arabia has made a lot of money from the high-priced oil stirred up by the wars in the Middle East. But as the saying goes, "You can't always catch just one piece of wool." No matter how much oil there is in Saudi Arabia, it will be an advance of 4,600 for 10 years. billion, President Trump was too harsh.
Christians: As we all know, the United States is a country founded mainly by Protestants in Christianity. Christianity, which originated in the Middle East, was introduced into the Roman Empire and was established as the imperial state religion in 392 AD. 100 years later, the Eastern and Western Roman Empire split, and the church split with it. The church in the Eastern Roman Empire called itself Orthodox (i.e., the Eastern Orthodox Church). As the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire) expanded its territory, it was introduced to the Slavs. After the Byzantine Empire was destroyed by the Ottoman Empire, Russia, composed of Slavs, became the majority of the Orthodox Church.
The church of the Western Roman Empire was Catholicism. Although the Western Roman Empire was politically divided into many small countries in Europe, it was religiously unified under the Catholic Church of the Pope. The Pope, who stood between God and believers, had great power. Francis is the 266th Pope of the Catholic Church. According to canon law, his full title should be: "Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Christ, Successor of the Lord of the Disciples, Supreme Priest, Patriarch of the West, Chief Bishop of Italy, Province of Rome" Archbishop and Metropolitan, Head of the Vatican City State and Servant of the Servants of God”.
After Martin Luther implemented the Reformation, Catholicism split into many sects (collectively called Protestants). Among them, those who believed in Calvin's teachings and were dissatisfied with the teachings of the Church of England were called Puritans. Due to religious persecution in England, most of the Puritans fled to the North American continent and established the United States.
If you don’t count the history of frequently changing wives and some indescribable sex scandals, Trump can be called a devout Christian. The reason why President Trump is eager to see the Pope is that he probably wants to seek an official certification.
Thinking back to the Frost Moon in 1804, Napoleon did the same thing when he became emperor. Although the Empire had been established on May 18, Napoleon still needed a coronation to seek historical inheritance and legitimacy for his title of emperor.
Jews: Some people say that the Jews are a mysterious nation.
Judaism is the oldest religion among the three major monotheistic faiths in the world. Unlike other religions in the world, Judaism does not welcome foreigners to believe in the religion, nor does it take the initiative to preach among foreigners. It insists that those who convert to Judaism must pass a test. Perhaps it is precisely because of the closed nature of this religious teaching that the Jews are incompatible with the entire world. Throughout history, the Jews have faced many devastating disasters and persecutions. Since the Jews have been scattered around the world for more than two thousand years, their language and writing have become differentiated, and they only rely on a unified religion to maintain their single nationality.
According to statistics, Jews, who account for less than 3% of the population in the United States, control more than 70% of the wealth in the United States. There are more than 200 Jewish organizations in the United States, and the "American Jewish Public Affairs Committee" is the most powerful "outgroup", always paying attention to U.S. decision-making and exerting important influence.
In early 2015, due to then-President Obama’s weak policy towards Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu became an uninvited guest of the United States. He stormed into the U.S. Congress and delivered a speech at a joint meeting of the House and Senate, demanding that the U.S. government Face the threat of Iran's nuclear weapons to Israel and adjust its nuclear policy in a timely manner. Subsequently, U.S.-Israeli relations dropped to a freezing point.
But the situation was very different after Trump came to power. In early February this year, the Israeli parliament forcibly passed a bill legalizing all illegal Jewish settlements built in the West Bank without the approval of the Israeli government, causing an uproar in international public opinion.
On Valentine's Day, February 14, Netanyahu came to the United States again to meet with Trump to test Trump's attitude towards Israel's massive expansion of settlements in the West Bank. Trump, who had just ascended to the throne, may not have understood what the Palestine-Israel issue was at that time, so he was vague and did not make a clear position.
This time he made a special trip to Israel and Palestine, apparently to achieve "discussing how to achieve peace between Palestine and Israel." In fact, Trump knows well that "peace between Palestine and Israel" will not be achieved overnight, at least in his case. Prospects for a four-year term are slim. The key point lies in the second half of the president's foreign visit statement - "How to release the potential economic vitality of Palestine." The implication is that the Jews have plenty of money anyway, so if they pay more land compensation, Palestine can forget about it.
With the support of the Jewish consortium, Trump can control the flow of more than half of the world's wealth.
