Trump's re-election signals shift away from US-led global order
Donald Trump's re-election signals a shift away from the US-led multilateral order established after World War II. His "America First" approach raises concerns about the future of international cooperation, particularly among allies in Europe and Asia.
Upcoming global summits, including COP29 and the G20, face uncertainty as Trump's administration may prioritize unilateral actions over collaborative efforts. His past disinterest in multilateral agreements could undermine these events and lead to a more fragmented global policy landscape.
While some leaders in developing nations see opportunities for greater influence, many Western diplomats express concern about the potential decline of democratic norms and international cooperation. The situation reflects a significant change in global dynamics, with implications for institutions like the UN and World Bank.
