Opportunities in Global Politics

The current geopolitical landscape offers the United States a unique chance to reshape international relations, particularly in the Middle East and China. Iran has weakened significantly, losing key regional allies, which creates an opening for the U.S. to influence the region's future. Meanwhile, China's looming demographic and financial challenges signal a decline, suggesting that the U.S. can capitalize on this to realign global power dynamics. However, instead of leveraging these opportunities, the Trump administration often engages in conflicts with traditional allies, potentially undermining the ability to foster a cohesive international strategy.
