The Trump administration's decision to dismantle the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) is a significant development, challenging a Congressionally-established think tank focused on peaceful conflict resolution. USIP, created in 1984 to foster American values and influence globally, has been pivotal in supporting research and policymaking that steers clear of violent conflict. Critics, including acting president George Moose, argue that this move undermines U.S. efforts to project soft power and build peace, which have been part of American policy since the Cold War. This action also reflects broader changes within U.S. foreign policy under the Trump administration.
