"Trump has changed the world in ways that it will take decades - or longer - to recover from. A year ago, American medical research was the envy of the world. No more."
"Now that countries have learned that the United States is untrustworthy, it's not clear that we'll ever be able to restore our reputation."
"If European countries in NATO and Asian allies can no longer trust American security guarantees - and Trump has made clear that they can't - then Germany and Poland and South Korea and Japan will think again about developing nuclear deterrents."
"I'm talking about long-term damage that may be irreparable. And that's giving Trump the benefit of the doubt about whether he'll try to do something venal."
Trump's actions, such as moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and negotiating the Abraham Accords, are viewed positively by some. However, his presidency has led to significant long-term damage, including a loss of trust among allies and a decline in American medical research. The perception of the U.S. as untrustworthy may lead countries to reconsider their nuclear policies. The changes initiated by Trump are seen as potentially permanent, affecting America's global reputation and institutional knowledge.
