Tap title to read story
Donald Trump's influence on global right-wing populists is waning. Initially, his anti-establishment rhetoric inspired many, but his trade policies and confrontational approach are now causing a backlash. In Canada and Australia, right-wing leaders initially gained traction by emulating Trump but are now struggling to distance themselves from his unpopular policies, particularly his tariffs. While some, like Italy's Giorgia Meloni, attempt to navigate a middle ground, Trump's appeal is diminishing, highlighting the limitations of mirroring his style in parliamentary systems.
