How Trump-era decisions reshaped law, health, and climate abroad

This cluster examines how Trump-era policies recast America’s role in the world, from military action against Iran that risks normalizing unilateral force and straining international law, to the global economic fallout such confrontations can trigger. It highlights how rollbacks on climate commitments and anti‑green policies worsened vulnerabilities in places like Mozambique, while shifts in U.S. global health policy reverberated across Africa and multilateral health initiatives. Think tanks, rights groups, and policy experts debate whether these moves represent a fundamental reshaping of the post–Cold War world order, with enduring consequences for global governance and cooperation.
