The United States is experiencing a deterioration of sentiment among its allies, largely attributed to President Trump's withdrawal from international engagements and a transactional foreign policy approach. A report from Democratic members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee emphasizes how these changes have weakened US standing in the face of rising Chinese influence. Key factors include staff cuts at the State Department and disruptions to agencies like USAID, which diminish US diplomatic power. China's proactive strategy contrasts with America's retreat, enabling it to strengthen global relationships and pursue dominance.
According to a Pew survey, sentiment towards the US is deteriorating even among Washington's closest allies, indicating a significant decline in trust and influence.
The report points to staff reductions at the US Department of State and disruptive changes within agencies like USAID, implying a systematic weakening of US power.
