Trump's foreign policy calls into question the liberal international order, warns the Munich Security Conference report.

The Munich Security Conference 2026 report describes President Donald Trump's foreign policy as a destructive force that threatens the international order established after World War II. The document emphasizes that the Trump administration not only changes the rules of the global game but dismantles them, calling into question the fundamental principles that the U.S. has guaranteed for nearly 80 years. This approach has led to a more fragmented world, dominated by regional powers and the interests of the wealthiest, generating an increased climate of insecurity, especially in Europe.

The report highlights that the U.S., under Trump's leadership, ignores essential rules such as respecting territorial integrity, which risks collapsing the international system. It also links the rise of populist and anti-system movements in the West to this policy, which undermines liberalism and multilateralism. In the face of this instability, the report calls for unity in Europe, for investments in defense, and for the development of strategic partnerships. Despite U.S. participation in the conference, the crisis of trust remains a major issue in transatlantic relations.
