America’s democratic decline is becoming Europe’s problem, new report says

U.S. democracy indicators have fallen to their lowest levels in 50 years, creating risks for the global rule of law and impacting European stability. Multiple reports describe a decline in American democratic health that is transitioning from a domestic issue to an international problem. This erosion of democratic norms is framed as a retreat from global leadership in democracy, suggesting that the internal state of U.S. governance now has direct consequences for allies and international legal standards.
