Trump's track record during his first administration affirmed that, rather than using international law as a tool to advance American interests, it actively subverts the very system of international laws and institutions.
International environmental law is the most obvious example. A priority of a second Trump administration is to withdraw the United States from the 2015 Paris climate accords.
What’s alarming is this isn’t just a matter of changing tack on policies like climate change or human rights; it essentially dismantles international institutions, making them incapable of functioning.
Students today are largely unsure of what to expect from a second Trump administration, as many were still in middle school during his first inauguration.
