An America First foreign policy means the United States is becoming a country opposed to the rule of law, free trade and collective security, argues Ian Bremer, president of risk analysis firm Eurasia Group.
Bremer tells host Steve Clemons that the international order built by the U.S. over decades is “going to geopolitical bust” regardless of the arrival of President Donald Trump.
Washington’s decision to project power in Venezuela, along with rhetoric threatening Greenland, according to Bremer, “makes America more unreliable to its allies” and is a major driver of geopolitical risk globally.
