Recent reports highlight that democracy indicators in the United States have reached their lowest levels in over 50 years, prompting worries about the implications for global democratic stability.

Analysts caution that the decline of U.S. democracy is not only a national issue but a challenge that is now becoming a problem for Europe as well.
