Bloomberg also cited the statement by former Kenyan permanent representative to the UN and director of the Center for International Cooperation at New York University, Martin Kimani, that US global influence is rapidly waning.
The material gives a number of examples of how the US has "lost its leadership position on the world stage". For example, Washington's failure to persuade Israel to conclude a cease-fire agreement with Hamas. In addition, the US-led coalition has not resolved the problem of Yemen's Houthi rebels attacking ships in the Red Sea.
„Washington and its allies have been pushed out of their bases in Africa, while China and Russia are actively expanding their influence in the region,”, the article notes.
