Report: The United States only has 7 die-hard allies left.
According to a report by the British newspaper The Guardian on February 13th, President Trump's return to the White House has accelerated a profound shift in global order. An analysis by the data research company Fucal revealed how Washington's "America First" agenda is reshaping geopolitical dynamics. The analysis used voting records in the United Nations General Assembly as an indicator of geopolitical alliances: countries that consistently vote the same way on contentious resolutions often have common interests. The report compared all years of Trump's presidency with his predecessors Obama and Biden, finding that the number of countries closely allied with the United States has decreased from 46 to just 7. While most countries that firmly stand with the U.S. still vote in alignment with Washington, the frequency of their alignment has significantly decreased. Some of the countries with the biggest changes are traditional allies of the U.S. in Europe, North America, and Asia, whose voting positions are no longer as consistently aligned with Washington as before. In 2025, Canada, South Korea, Japan, Germany, and the UK showed significant disagreements with the U.S. in their voting behavior at the UN.
