The United States was once hailed as a pinnacle example for democracy, but its credibility has slowly eroded since the turn of the century. Since the Trump presidency, that credibility has declined exponentially due to blatant attacks on democracy, financial crises, and increasingly growing political polarization among its citizens. How have domestic issues affected its global credibility, partnerships, and the way budding democracies perceive this deeply divided country and its issues? To further explore how other countries view the U.S. and its domestic challenges, join us with Dr. Célia Belin, a senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations and head of its Paris office since January 2023; Aude Darnal, Research Associate in the Stimson Center’s Reimagining U.S. Grand Strategy Program; and Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a historian and commentator on fascism, authoritarian leaders, and propaganda.
