Sceptical

Discussion focused on the United States’ deteriorating geopolitical and fiscal position, especially its Iran war, relations with China and Europe, and growing intervention in markets and institutions. Some speakers still view US assets, growth and strategic capacity as relatively resilient, while others see debt, political conflict, energy exposure and institutional retreat as signs of a more dangerous trajectory. The material is notably divided between claims of continued US leadership and warnings that America-first policies are weakening alliances and the rules-based order.
