Report published before international summit suggests US is moving away from a global leadership role

Summary

The Munich Security Conference report warns that Trump’s proposed territorial acquisitions, including Greenland, Panama, and Canada, have damaged the U.S.'s global standing, making it seen as a risk rather than a stabilizing force.

The report highlights the decline of U.S.-led global leadership amid a shift toward a multipolar world, with China and Russia expanding influence.

European leaders will press U.S. officials on NATO commitments and Ukraine support.

Survey data shows U.S. risks are now perceived as greater than Russia’s in many G7 nations.

    In some senses this is exactly what Trump wants. He would refuse to be respectful and get respect diplomatically so instead its a “respect me or else” stance, both in an economically and militarily threatening sense.

      I think that the problem is bigger than Trump. We can’t really trust an ally whose position can change radically from one administration to another, essentially every 4 years.
