The Erosion of US Moral Authority and Geopolitical Shift (lemonde.fr)

• Abandonment of liberal democratic leadership values.
• Rise of transactional deal-making in international relations.
• Irreparable damage to American global legitimacy.

"Economist Jean Pisani-Ferry critiques the fundamental shift in US foreign policy, moving away from democratic advocacy toward transactionalism. He argues that under current leadership, the US has traded its traditional role as a guarantor of global stability for a 'law of the strongest' approach. This transition marks a permanent departure from the values that once defined American influence, forcing European states to reconsider their dependence on the US framework."
