Former UK Prime Minister Sir John Major has warned that growing U.S. isolationism poses a serious threat to global democracy and stability. Speaking at an international forum, Major criticized recent shifts in American foreign policy, arguing that a retreat from global leadership could embolden authoritarian regimes and weaken democratic alliances.
“If the United States withdraws from its international commitments, the vacuum will be filled by those who do not share democratic values,” Major cautioned. He stressed that American engagement is crucial for maintaining stability in Europe, the Indo-Pacific, and other key regions.
The warning comes amid concerns that a more inward-looking U.S. stance—fueled by political divisions and shifting priorities—could weaken NATO, disrupt global trade, and reduce support for democratic movements worldwide. Major also noted that transatlantic cooperation remains essential in addressing global challenges, from military conflicts to climate change.
With U.S. elections on the horizon, questions about America’s future role on the world stage continue to shape political debates. European leaders, including those in the UK, are closely watching how Washington’s policies evolve, particularly regarding its commitments to Ukraine, NATO, and other international partnerships.
