Dismantling the Global Order That America Created

A former NATO ambassador shows how Trump has shattered 80 years of global trust in just 120 days, forcing allies to act without America for the first time.

In just 120 days, President Donald Trump has accomplished what no foreign adversary could achieve in eight decades: the systematic destruction of America’s global leadership from within.

On this WhoWhatWhy podcast, I’m joined by Ivo Daalder, former US ambassador to NATO under President Barack Obama, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and director of European affairs on President Bill Clinton’s National Security Council.

He delivers a sobering assessment of how rapidly the post-World War II international order is collapsing. The system that brought unprecedented peace, prosperity, and freedom to billions — built on collective security, free trade, and democratic values — is being deliberately dismantled by the very nation that created it.
