Author: Richmond American University London
Given Donald Trump’s vision and recent declaration of plans to expand US territory in Canada, Greenland, and Panama, and rebrand the Gulf of Mexico, Dom Alessio, Professor of International History and Vice President International at Richmond American University London, shared his insight in his latest article “Hail Caesar: Trump and the New American Empire”.
Dom has been writing and teaching about theories of empire for decades; he has a particular interest in the buying and leasing of territory and has published widely in this area. He suggests in this article that ‘while critics might dismiss Trump’s rhetoric as bluster, historical parallels and America’s past expansions suggest his vision might align with a broader strategy rooted in power, precedent and realpolitik’.
