Summary
Former allies are distancing themselves, global approval of the U.S. has hit record lows, and countries that once looked to America for leadership are looking elsewhere. What the data actually shows about Trump's foreign policy and its consequences.\
Since returning to power in January 2025, the Trump administration has presided over a dramatic erosion of America's global standing. Long-standing allies are pulling back, international polling shows record disapproval ratings, and nations that once modeled themselves on American democracy are reconsidering that relationship. This episode examines the data, the voices of foreign leaders, and the real-world consequences of a foreign policy defined by intimidation, tariffs, and chronic unpredictability.
