Trump claimed he could stop the war in Ukraine in his first day in office. Hes now had 8 months and its still going. US has been hugely protectionist due to massive lobbies like the farmers who block dairy exports from New Zealand while NZ has had zero tariffs on US since the 1980s. USA ditching the TPPPA agreement left its asia pacific trade partners to go it alone, led by Japan, and now China has joined the TPPPA leaving USA isolated. The USA is a spoiled cry baby bully that overturned existing FTAs with trade partners and imposes new terms upon them in breach of international law because it can because it dominates the institutions that are supposed to enforce international law.

Everyone but the most biased taxpayer funded US Exceptionalist propagandists can see the USA is now a rogue state supporting other rogue states like Israel who orchestrate genocide and terror in their region. The USA has abandoned the international rule of law that it once championed and upheld and increasingly abused to maintain its global resource and protocols hegemony. Naturally the rest of the world is now recalculating their alliances and recognising that USA cannot be trusted. The use of the USD as a reserve currency is in terminal decline as increasingly trade is not conducted via SWIFT but via alternatives such as Chinas CIPS and mBridge alternatives. Good luck to the US Treasury selling the $7 Billion debt that needs to be rolled over before Christmas- even if the FED can be bullied to lower the official rates it does not mean the international markets will buy USTs at a those rates. US authority and leverage in the global financial markets is reaching a point where it collapses and then very rapidly the viability of Empire USA collapses too...because it is now built upon a massive pile of debt.

Not just the marginal nations who had been repeatedly attacks with US drones strikes (again in breach of international law) but nearly all nations including Europe and BRICS now see USA as a rogue state that is desperately trying to maintain its exceptional privilege but that no longer even pretends to be a fair and neutral player. When the president of the US is openly engaged in blatant conflicts of interest involving multiple commercial arrangements including shady crypto deals and arranging arms sales for US military suppliers the rest of the world notices and reacts accordingly. Increasingly China is seen as a more reliable partner in trade and one that does not use and has not used its military leverage and force to advantage its merchants.
