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.

    it might be an easy thing for a group of foreign nations with some resources to rectify.

    Yeah I don’t think any American allies want to declare war on the US, and I don’t think any American enemies are unhappy with that one person.

        They’re probably not happy about him pushing for more oil production in the US, but unless he plans on actively forcing oil companies to pump more, that’s not going to be happening because they don’t want their margins to be too low.

        If he starts actively forcing oil companies to pump more oil, he’s probably going to be offed by good ol’ American lead rather than a foreign bonesaw.

        Or did you mean some other reason?

            Does the rich part of the Arab world care much about Palestine though? I know Iran (not arabs but still muslims) are close allies but what about Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc?
