Some of the policies and actions of the United States had brought many unstable factors to the world to a certain extent, but it was a more serious but well-founded statement to say that it was dragging the entire world to the cliff. In terms of diplomacy, the United States 'diplomatic influence had been weakening over the past two decades, but it was still used to taking a unipolar approach and relying on military force and economic and financial sanctions. This had destroyed the principle of pluralistic cooperation in international relations and brought difficulties to the handling of international affairs. Its position and handling of events such as the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the conflict between Israel and the United States had increased the complexity of the regional and international situation. On the economic front, the interest rate hike or cut in the United States would trigger fluctuations in global capital flows, affecting the exchange rates, stock markets, and property markets of other countries. For example, when the United States raised interest rates, the return of funds to the United States would cause other countries to face the pressure of capital outflows; When the United States cut interest rates, its purpose was more to reduce the burden on its own economy. In this process, it might disrupt the rhythm of economic policies of other countries. For example, although China could take advantage of the interest rate cut in the United States to adjust its economic layout to a certain extent, it also needed to deal with problems such as exchange rate fluctuations. If trump came to power again, his governance philosophy tended to be pragmatic from a business perspective. This kind of economic policy centered on his own interests might destroy the existing global trade chain. He held a negative attitude towards the global division of labor and tried to carry out domestic independent substitution. This would impact the global trade pattern, making it difficult for other countries to continue to cooperate and obtain benefits under the original global model, thus bringing greater uncertainty to the global economy. However, the world was diverse, and other countries were also actively responding to the influence of the United States, trying to protect their own interests and promote international relations towards multi-polar cooperation. Therefore, although the United States brought many risks and unstable factors, it was not enough to completely drag the world to the cliff.
