Decline of America

Letter December 27, 2017
Destructive policies might prove Trump to be the ultimate reason for America’s decline

SHIKARPUR: American standing on the international stage seems to be declining. Its economic might and military’s powerful influence and dominance are showing signs of a decline.

The US has been following tactless and harmful policies in international relations since the start of Donald Trump’s era. The pullout from the Paris Agreement will have disastrous consequences for the cause of climate change; it’s a dangerous idea. Most recently, Trump reignited the flame of violence in the Middle East by declaring Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Such destructive policies might prove Trump to be the ultimate reason for America’s decline.
