U.S. Global Standing and Economic Strength

The United States maintains a strong global position, marked by a robust economy that outperforms other G7 nations as it navigates the aftermath of the pandemic. While the U.S. competes closely with China in technology, it remains well ahead of all other countries militarily, being the only nation capable of projecting power globally. The U.S. dollar retains its status as the world’s reserve currency without a significant challenger. However, despite these strengths, America's political landscape is shifting, leading to a diminishing interest in supporting global alliances, collective security, and democracy promotion.
