According to the Spanish newspaper "El Mundo" on January 29, former Spanish Prime Minister José María Aznar said in a speech at a forum organized by the Social Science Association and chaired by him that the situation in the United States is in a state of "pre-civil war".
Asnar said he agreed with Winston Churchill's famous words: "There is no better foreign policy than domestic affairs, and tidying up is the best foreign policy." He added: "And the Americans make a mess of the house, and their house is a very messy house." ”
According to the report, Aznar stressed that at the moment "the confrontation that is taking place in the United States is a confrontation before the Civil War" and that "they have never been so close to an internal confrontation since the Civil War in the 19th century." As a result, he said, if he were to be tasked with setting foreign policy now, he would entrust his aides with "studying what Trump's second term might look like."
Asnar also said that the United States currently "does not have a clear policy towards Latin America and Africa." In response, he noted that "[the United States] may fall into neo-isolationism with only undesirable consequences for the rest of the world," but acknowledged that the United States is "beginning to react in some ways."
