From Trump’s rejected treaties to our daily lives, we’re building walls around ourselves | Anand Pandian

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : When the divide between self and other becomes as stark as it has in everyday American life, efforts to address collective predicaments or to respond to the suffering of others can meet with deep skepticism.The rejection of climate diplomacy and the celebration of fossil fuels by our leaders and policymakers are troubling indeed.
53% : wildfiresFor here is the reality acknowledged in so many of the global arrangements spurned by our national leadership these days: our future is caught up with the welfare of others beyond our bounds.
47% : Everything from the global treaty on climate change to multilateral efforts to address migration and cultural heritage, clean water and renewable energy, and the international trade in timber and minerals has been summarily dismissed as “contrary to the interests of the United States”.It’s no surprise that an administration hellbent on physical walls around the United States would also put up such walls of indifference, as if all of these longstanding collective efforts were simply “irrelevant” to our interests as a country, as the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, put it in a public statement.
