Dear MEPIN Readers,
Can the United Nations be meaningfully reformed? Do any international institutions still function effectively? If the United States disengages from multilateral bodies, does that create a strategic opening for China, Russia, and Iran? Are there viable alternatives—and what might President Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace” look like in practice?
I explored these questions on Global Eye with former British Ambassador Edmund Fitton-Brown, now with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies; Pyotr Kurzin, a geopolitical and international policy professor with experience at the International Crisis Group, the United Nations, and the World Bank; and host Ellie Hochenberg. — Eric
