Davos 2026: Is The Brand Of America Diminishing? The Atlantic CEO Nicholas Thompson Answers

At WEF Davos 2026, a stark question looms over global geopolitics - is the brand of America losing its shine? As wars rage in Ukraine and Gaza, and world leaders look for stability, US leadership appears increasingly unpredictable. Donald Trump’s impulsive style of decision-making, marked by sudden shifts and dramatic declarations, has left allies uncertain and adversaries guessing. While his charisma and influence still compel the world to follow, clarity and consistency seem harder to find. From peace promises to power plays, America’s role as the anchor of the global order is being tested in real time. At Davos 2026, the debate is no longer just about US power - it’s about trust, credibility, and whether the world can still rely on American leadership.
