If Trump's foreign policy pushes allies away, can the US go it alone?

The Trump administration’s approach to foreign policy is clear: allies and alliances are expendable, and America is stronger alone. With support for Ukraine waning and European allies sidelined, long-term damage to transatlantic relationships may be inevitable. On Quick Take, Ian Bremmer unpacks this shift and its likely consequences.

Russia-Ukraine reality check

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: Russia may be isolated in terms of its war and its war goals, but that doesn't mean that it's isolated. The reality is Russia is the largest country in the world geographically and they have an awful lot of very important natural resources. If the US and its allies were so concerned about the war in Ukraine that they were truly willing to cut that off, they could. But it would cost them and the world would be in a global recession.
