"America First foreign policy means that the United States is becoming a country that opposes the rule of law, free trade and collective security, argues Ian Bremmer, president of the risk analysis firm Eurasia Group."
"Bremmer tells host Steve Clemons that the international system built by the US over decades was going to reach a geopolitical bust regardless of the advent of President Donald Trump."
"Washington's decision to project power in Venezuela, coupled with rhetoric threatening Greenland, makes the US more unreliable for its allies, according to Bremmer, and a much bigger driver of geopolitical risk on the global stage."
America First foreign policy is shifting the United States toward opposing the rule of law, free trade, and collective security. That shift undermines the postwar international system built by the United States over decades. The international system was approaching a geopolitical bust irrespective of Donald Trump's advent. Washington's decision to project power in Venezuela signals willingness to intervene militarily in hemispheric affairs. Rhetoric about Greenland demonstrates unpredictable territorial posture. These behaviors make the United States less reliable for its allies. The United States therefore becomes a larger driver of geopolitical risk on the global stage.
