GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
Les divergences reflètent les fractures géopolitiques contemporaines : l'axe atlantique traditionnel se fragmente face à l'unilateralism trumpien, poussant les alliés européens vers plus d'strategic autonomy. Les emerging powers (China, Russia) instrumentalisent l'isolement américain pour promouvoir leur vision multipolaire. Les pays du Golfe naviguent entre loyautés contradictoires, tandis que les puissances moyennes privilégient la prudence économique. Les structures médiatiques nationales amplifient ces divisions : médias occidentaux critiques de Trump mais attachés aux valeurs démocratiques, médias autoritaires exploitant les failles américaines, médias neutres privilégiant les intérêts commerciaux.
