Trump’s damage to American credibility might be irreparable
Donald Trump's policies are significantly undermining the post-war global order. In less than two months, his actions have strained relationships with key allies like Canada, Mexico, and the European Union, while also casting doubt on the future of NATO and destabilizing the situation in Ukraine. His approach has even prompted economists to consider the possibility of a global recession due to his tariff policies.
The long-term consequences of Trump's policies are likely to reshape the world order. By 2028, the cumulative effect of these policies could lead to a more multipolar world, potentially characterized by less stability. Traditional US allies are already seeking greater independence in defense and economic matters, and strengthening alliances outside of the US sphere of influence. The weakening of institutions like NATO could embolden rival powers, increasing the risk of regional conflicts, while trade tensions and protectionist measures are expected to hinder global growth and disrupt supply chains.
