Trumpism marks a crucial transformation in the power dynamics of contemporary international politics. Emerging as a defining force, Trumpism rooted in unilateralism, selective intervention and interest-driven engagement has profoundly reshaped the strategic directions of the United States foreign policy. The article examines how Trumpism has replaced multilateral consensus with transactional diplomacy and pragmatic realism. Employing a qualitative research design within the theoretical framework of offensive realism, the research examines three critical conflicts of contemporary era: The Russian-Ukraine War, The Gaza Conflict and the 2025 India-Pakistan escalation. The findings reveal that Trumpism advances a strategic rationale centered on power maximization and national self-interest rather than normative diplomacy and collective security. The insights carry significant implications for global peace, the erosion of multilateralism and the future of international order.
