After Maduro: Is the US driving global instability?

In a January 11, 2026 interview, Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group, argues that the United States is increasingly contributing to global instability. Bremmer contends that the "America First" foreign policy is causing the US to oppose the rule of law, free trade, and collective security. He states that the international system was already facing challenges, but actions like projecting power in Venezuela and rhetoric concerning Greenland are making the US less reliable for its allies. Bremmer suggests these actions position the US as a significant driver of geopolitical risk on the global stage. The interview was hosted by Steve Clemons.
