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.

    Imo, Europe is better off forging its own path, only collaborating with countries such as China when it is in our strategic interest to do so.

    Europe, without the U.S. needs to increase it’s military spending. (Same with Canada, who, I hate to say it, really needs to get some nukes onto it’s territory on loan from somehwere)

    Ironically, NATO increasing it’s military spending is something that the U.S. has been bitching about for years. So now they’d finally get their wish, but in some weird monkey’s paw Faustian way.
