Has Any US President Damaged Global Alliances More Than Trump?

n this episode of SOS America, Charles Feldman speaks with leading international law expert Oona Hathaway about the foundations of the global order created after World War II, and whether today’s political climate is weakening the rules that have governed international relationships for decades. They discuss: - What the post-war international order actually means - Whether Donald Trump is the first US president to openly violate that order - America’s historical record on international law - Whether Trump represents a more dangerous break from past presidents - How ignoring laws and treaties can damage trust between nations - Why presidential disregard for legal norms can have long-term global consequences - Hathaway explains why international law depends not only on enforcement, but on belief and mutual respect — and what happens when world leaders undermine that system. If leaders act as though laws don’t matter, does that signal to the world that the rules themselves are meaningless?
