## Resource

New data reveals a shocking slide in U.S. global credibility, with America plummeting to 117th in global accountability — the only wealthy democracy falling further — as allies like Canada, Germany, and the UK soar ahead. Freedom from political killings and public administration are collapsing at alarming speed, fueled by an “America First” doctrine that treats alliances as transactional and rejects global norms. The U.S. is no longer the global leader it was after WWII — it’s retreating inward, while Europe’s own vulnerabilities and rising far-right movements, some quietly backed by U.S. funding, are accelerating a dangerous global trend of impunity.
