Trump has left Europe looking for alternatives to US weapons, even if they are worse, weakening the alliance and losing US sales. If the world does take big strides away from US weapons, the US will have lost a lot of leverage.

Trump praised Xi like a sycophant. Xi did not return the words.
Trump has accelerated American decline. Further polarizing the country, getting the US into a so-far unsuccessful war with Iran, weakening relationships with allies, removing quality immigrants along with the bad ones, increasing corruption, weakening the ability of the country to tax its wealthy citizens, broad and unstrategic tariffs that weaken the US economy, etcetera…

Japan is becoming its own hub in a hub and spoke model of quasi-alliances in the Asia-Pacific. It’s cooperating with many countries and selling needed weapons. Japan is the most trusted major power among ASEAN countries. Beating the EU, US, China, and India.

In tough diplomacy, the world came together to prevent Iran from getting a nuke. Even Israeli intelligence said Iran was in compliance. Trump blew all that up by leaving the agreement unilaterally, claiming he could get a better deal. Instead, he gave us war.
The Obama-Iran deal set back Iranian nuclear development by over a decade, and was intended to be the start of negotiations and the relationship, not the final say. They hoped the next president, Hillary Clinton, could push deals forward. Instead, Trump was elected and took a different path.

Thanks to the US having weaker relationships with our allies due to Trump’s bullying, and Trump’s, so far, failed war in Iran, and Trump’s failure to contain Russia or China…US military spending is going to be much higher. Trump’s attempts at saving money by getting allies to pay more has backfired.
