USA: A new administration reengages

One key opportunity comes from the change of presidency in the USA, which holds the promise that the chaotic hostility of the Trump administration towards international cooperation will give way to a more constructive approach. The Biden administration has rejoined the Paris Agreement and cancelled the World Health Organization withdrawal. The opportunity this offers is not to seek to go back in time to the international system as it was before Trump, but for the Biden administration to explore and model new ways of working.
