Trump changes the world: a strong blow to Iran, and to Russia...

The newly elected US President Donald Trump is already shaping the country's policy on the main directions - Ukraine and Israel.
This was reported by Bloomberg.
With phone calls to the leaders of both nations, and another expected with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump’s victory — and the possibility he will seek major policy changes — is reverberating in both countries and well beyond.
One former Trump administration official, who asked not to be identified discussing private assessments, said the president-elect will have an immediate head start thanks to the perception that he will be tougher than his predecessor. U.S. adversaries may change their behavior in advance, the person said — some deterred by the threat of U.S. retaliation, and others seeking to exploit their remaining leverage before President Joe Biden leaves office.
That’s being felt most acutely in Ukraine. Trump promised during the campaign to solve the Ukraine crisis before Inauguration Day, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is already scrambling to catch up. Tesla CEO and Trump supporter Elon Musk was in the room for Zelenskyy’s call with Trump this week, according to a person familiar with the matter. Musk has previously advocated for a negotiated solution in which Ukraine gives up some of its territory.
