The world is stressed and concerned on the duration of the Covid-19 pandemic, economic recession worsened by national lockdowns, civil unrest spreads across America, the possibility of a war between the US or the UK vs. China or Iran (by the end of the month Jun 30-Jul 1?), and whether or not Donald Trump whose presidential term survived impeachment in Feb. is re-electable in this coming Nov. He was popular by inciting remarks about Mexico, the Islamic world and China in his 2016 presidential campaign and his 3 years as president.
Trump failed in being the world leader in the last 4 years and not only China is held "responsible" for the spread of Covid-19 in virtually every country (was introduced from multiple countries by 100? presymptomatic travelers), the US had a national pandemic plan which Trump removed 2 years ago had a multi-national cooperation of 40-60 nations would assisted them in containing a new disease pandemic. The world turns to America for an example of advanced leadership in times of global crisis, but it wasn't there this time and made things much worse, whether it's our European or underdeveloped nation allies.
