The article discusses how Donald Trump is actively dismantling the existing world order, a departure from historical norms where empires decline due to external or internal pressures. Trump's administration is marked by a retreat from multilateral agreements, withdrawal from key international organizations, and a focus on American nationalism. By espousing populist rhetoric, he undermines long-standing alliances, pressures NATO, and displays peculiar admiration for authoritarian leaders while neglecting traditional allies. This shift represents a fundamental change in U.S. foreign policy, favoring isolationism over cooperation and challenging the post-World War II order.
"The multilateralism that once provided a framework of rules and cooperation is now on life support, after Trump withdrew the U.S. from institutions he deems unfair or corrupt."
"His return to the White House has turned the world upside down, as the United States retreats behind its borders, abandoning commitments, and obstructing trade agreements with its partners."
