During a recent discussion in Geneva, an ambassador expressed concern over the declining influence of the United States in international diplomacy. Decisions that directly affect Americans, such as those related to safety, public health, and trade, are now made by other countries, particularly China, which is eager to shape global standards in absence of U.S. leadership. This shift, while ignored by some Americans, has significant implications, as nations now chart paths based on their values rather than those of the United States.
The United States' diminished presence in international diplomacy allows others, particularly China, to fill the leadership void and shape global standards.
Decisions made in global venues like Geneva now occur without U.S. input, affecting vital areas like public health, safety, and international trade.
