US Foreign Policy Under Scrutiny for Global Instability

"America First" Foreign Policy Underlines Instability

The foreign policy adopted under Donald Trump is transforming the United States into a nation that challenges the rule of law, free trade, and collective security, claims Ian Bremmer, president of the risk analysis firm Eurasia Group. Bremmer asserts that the international system built by the US over decades was "predestined for geopolitical collapse" regardless of President Trump's ascent.

Washington's decision to project its power in Venezuela, along with its threatening rhetoric towards Greenland, "makes the US less trustworthy for its allies," according to Bremmer, "and a much greater geopolitical risk factor on the global stage."
