Trump's 'Political Revolution' Makes US World's Biggest Risk: Eurasia Group's Ian Bremmer

  • Eurasia Group's Ian Bremmer identifies the US, not China or Russia, as the top global risk for 2026 due to Trump's "political revolution."
  • Trump's actions weaken institutional checks, politicize the state, and destabilize global markets, alliances, and trade, impacting countries like India.
  • Bremmer predicts Trump's revolution will fail due to limited popularity, strong institutional resistance (courts, military), and his lack of discipline.
  • Trade wars and tariffs under IEEPA pose immediate risks, with potential judicial intervention creating market uncertainty for investment and supply chains.

Why It Matters: Ian Bremmer warns Trump's US policies are the biggest global risk, causing instability and uncertainty.
