Abstract

The article discusses the implications of U.S. President Donald Trump's approach to international relations during his second term, highlighting a shift away from multilateralism and the potential emergence of a "world minus one" scenario, where the United States is absent from global leadership. It argues that despite Trump's unilateral actions and withdrawal from various international agreements, global cooperation can persist through existing multilateral institutions and rising powers like China and India, which are adapting to this new reality. The piece emphasizes that the U.S. may struggle to regain its previous role in the international order, as the world evolves in response to its disengagement, potentially leading to a more decentralized global system.
