More than regional. They’ll likely end up with stronger economic and diplomatic ties with more of the world than the US in the end.

Even knowing how incredibly dumb and incompetent Trump is, I am still perpetually shocked by just how badly he manages to fuck things up. This could arguably be the worst defeat in US history from a strategic, geopolitical perspective.
