Former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt has voiced his concerns that US President Donald Trump's policies are having a detrimental effect on global cooperation, as the United Nations teeters on the edge of financial collapse.
Critics argue that Trump's America First doctrine is undermining long-standing international norms and agreements. The former prime minister believes that this erodes trust among nations, making it increasingly difficult to tackle pressing global issues such as climate change and nuclear proliferation.
Bildt also pointed to the ongoing tensions between Iran and the US, which have brought the world to the brink of conflict. As the situation continues to unfold, experts warn that a military strike on Iranian soil is possible, sparking widespread anxiety among allies and adversaries alike.
The impact of Trump's policies extends beyond the realm of foreign affairs, however. Bildt believes that his approach has also damaged the foundations of international cooperation, leaving many world leaders struggling to navigate the complexities of global governance.
As the UN struggles to stay afloat financially, it is clear that Trump's policies have taken a significant toll on the organization's ability to function effectively. With the rules-based order under threat, Bildt's warnings serve as a stark reminder of the need for collective action and diplomacy in addressing the world's most pressing challenges.
The consequences of these actions are far-reaching, and it remains to be seen whether future leaders will be able to repair the damage caused by Trump's policies. One thing is certain, however: the international community must work together to address the growing divide between nations and restore trust in global institutions.

Just saw that another major drought has hit Africa, affecting millions of people who are already struggling with food and water shortages 
. And to make matters worse, the UN's financial crisis is making it even harder for them to respond to these types of disasters... 
. I mean, can you believe how many climate activists Trump supporters have arrested recently? It's just another example of how out of touch he is with reality... 
. Anyway, I'm sure the world will just keep on spinning... slowly coming to an end, one drought at a time 
.
I mean, come on, who doesn't love a good dose of global cooperation? 
But seriously, it's like, really concerning that Trump's policies are causing all this tension. It feels like we're taking two steps forward and one step back when it comes to tackling climate change and stuff.
And can we please just have a diplomatic conversation instead of all the saber-rattling? 
The US President's America First doctrine is having a huge impact on our collective ability to tackle issues like climate change and nuclear proliferation 
It's not just about Iran and the US, it's about the world as a whole - we need to work together if we want to make progress on these pressing issues!

500 million dollars is a drop in the bucket compared to what they need... still, i kinda doubt trump will do anything about it until he's out of office... 
Trump's America First policy is like a big ol' dumpster fire that's destroying all the progress we made in global cooperation 
it's like, what's next?!?! We need world leaders to come together ASAP and fix this mess before it's too late 
It's like, our last hope for saving humanity from ourselves 
and now it seems like we're taking two steps back with his policies 
what if iran gets into a war with the US?!?! my heart can't take it 
as a fan of the UN, this is literally breaking me
