As President Donald Trump completes the first 100 days of his second term, the ripple effects of his protectionist and nationalist agenda are being felt not only within the United States but also across the global political landscape. While Trump pushes forward with bold economic measures at home—such as a newly announced 25% tariff on imported car parts—right-wing political figures abroad who have adopted Trump-style rhetoric are encountering mounting setbacks.

In Canada, the Conservative Party, led by a populist-leaning figure, has struggled to gain traction against the Liberal government, which has capitalized on anti-Trump sentiment to bolster support among moderates and progressive voters. Similarly, in Australia, opposition parties mimicking Trump’s confrontational style and anti-immigration stances are losing public favor, reinforcing the position of centrist Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

The United Kingdom is also experiencing political turbulence, with the ruling Conservative Party bracing for potential heavy losses in upcoming local elections. Years of economic stagnation, post-Brexit uncertainty, and rising living costs have weakened the party\'s standing. Though populist parties such as Reform UK are gaining visibility, their rise appears to be fragmenting the right rather than consolidating it.

Meanwhile, President Trump’s domestic policy choices are creating new tensions with global trade partners. The 25% tariff on imported automobile components, set to take effect later this year, has alarmed both U.S. manufacturers and foreign allies. Critics argue the measure could disrupt global supply chains, increase production costs, and provoke retaliatory tariffs from the European Union, Japan, and South Korea.

Despite these risks, Trump has doubled down on his “America First” strategy, framing the tariffs as necessary to protect American industry and jobs. His administration claims the policy will incentivize domestic manufacturing and reduce dependence on foreign suppliers.

While Trump\'s supporters herald his first 100 days as a return to strong leadership, international observers see his influence as a cautionary tale. Around the world, the receding momentum of Trump-style populism suggests a global recalibration, as voters increasingly favor pragmatic leadership over divisive politics.
