Has the United States become a rogue state? Harvard University professor and FP columnist Stephen M. Walt certainly thinks so, arguing that the White House is using “positions of leverage built up over decades to exploit allies and adversaries alike.” And the war in Iran, he writes, “underscores that the administration either didn’t understand how its actions would affect other states or simply didn’t care.” How should other countries respond? If Walt is right, what does it mean for the future of global rules and order? Join FP Live for a discussion about recent U.S. foreign policy and how the world is adapting to the Trump era.
