Three of the four things that gave Trump a foothold, in my opinion, were failures in this century (the fourth is the legacy of slavery and the organized political violence that replaced it). The other three, though, are the War on Terror, the financial crisis, and social media. (COVID was the final catalyst, I think; having moved during the height of COVID, I can't express how much worse the US dealt with it than much of the EU.)

Sánchez warned that if there is a military invasion on the Arctic island that this will be a "death sentence for NATO." In 2017 the US President revealed his desire to want Greenland, Donald Trump said at the time he would pay $600 million a year for life to use the country. When Trump returned back to power in 2025 he then raised the question of acquiring Greenland, then at the start of 2026 he doubled down and has said that he "want it now."

A Spirit of Dialogue: the theme for this year's World Economic Forum, the gathering of the global elite in the sparkling Alpine air of Davos, seems a heroic stretch, when star guest Donald Trump has spent the past year smashing up the world order. The president will touch down alongside the snowcapped Swiss mountains with the largest US delegation ever seen at the WEF.

The administration turned its back on the climate "hoax", as Trump describes it, withdrawing from the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, the basis for the Paris climate agreement (abandoned twice by Trump in his two terms), and signed by 197 nations in 1992. Other non-U.N. organizations were dropped as well, including the Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, and the Global Counterterrorism Forum.

On the instructions of President Donald Trump, the United States is withdrawing from international organizations that focus on cybersecurity and hybrid threats. There are concerns within the cybersecurity sector that this decision could undermine global resilience to digital threats. As reported by Computing, the US government claims that these partnerships are not sufficiently effective and are not in line with national interests.

I have spent 12 of my 28 years in higher education working in top business schools-three in graduate admissions and nine as a tenured professor. I especially love teaching and mentoring MBA students, in part because I know that most of them are going to ascend to leadership in corporations, government agencies and other organizations in the future. I want them to leave my classrooms with the practical skills required to solve complex contemporary business problems.
