El mundo se encuentra en una era de “política de demolición” liderada por el presidente de EE.UU., Donald Trump , y está poniendo el próspero orden internacional de décadas de antigüedad bajo una presión sin precedentes, según el Informe de Seguridad de Munich 2026.

El informe anual, publicado antes de la Conferencia de Seguridad de Munich, describió a Trump claramente como la figura más poderosa que desafía las reglas e instituciones existentes, argumentando que su enfoque corre el riesgo de desmantelar alianzas y normas de larga data.

“Más de 80 años después de que comenzó su construcción, el orden internacional liderado por Estados Unidos después de 1945 está ahora bajo destrucción”, afirma el informe.

El informe etiquetó a Trump como uno de los “hombres de demolición” más destacados.

En el evento del año pasado, que anualmente reúne a altos funcionarios de seguridad y académicos, el vicepresidente J.D. Vance sorprendió a la audiencia con un discurso en el que criticó a los líderes europeos por la censura y la migración y afirmó que la amenaza del continente venía “desde adentro”.

El discurso de Vance, apenas unas semanas después del inicio del segundo gobierno de Trump, marcó el tono de un año tumultuoso, que incluyó aranceles punitivos de Estados Unidos a aliados europeos cercanos, la amenaza de una acción militar estadounidense para apoderarse del territorio de Groenlandia, de manos de Dinamarca, aliado de la OTAN, y deferencia hacia Rusia por su invasión ilegal de Ucrania.

El informe también calificó a Trump como “el más poderoso de aquellos que destruyen las reglas e instituciones existentes”.

Sus acciones podrían dar lugar a “un mundo moldeado por acuerdos transaccionales en lugar de una cooperación basada en principios”, afirmó.

Los críticos temen que las políticas de Trump “allanen el camino para un mundo que privilegie a los ricos y poderosos, no a la masa más amplia de personas que han puesto sus esperanzas en un cambio disruptivo”, según el informe.

Las encuestas de opinión pública realizadas para el informe muestran que gran parte del mundo ya tiene miedo de que eso esté sucediendo.

Las encuestas muestran un escepticismo generalizado respecto de si los gobiernos pueden realmente solucionar problemas como la crisis de asequibilidad, la creciente desigualdad, la disminución de la movilidad ascendente y el estancamiento o la disminución de los niveles de vida.

“Hay una creciente sensación de impotencia y de fatalidad, tanto individual como colectiva”, afirma el informe.

En Francia, el 60 % de los encuestados afirmó que las políticas de su gobierno perjudicarán a las generaciones futuras, al igual que el 53 % en el Reino Unido y el 51 % en Alemania. En Estados Unidos, esa cifra fue del 45 %.

Y las encuestas atribuyen la mayor parte de la culpa de esa sensación de pesimismo a Trump.

Cuando se les preguntó si las políticas del presidente de EE.UU. son buenas para el mundo, la mitad o más de los encuestados en Estados Unidos, Canadá, Francia, Alemania, Italia, Japón, el Reino Unido, Brasil y Sudáfrica dijeron que estaban ligeramente o muy en desacuerdo.

La Conferencia de Seguridad de Munich se celebra del viernes al domingo en la ciudad bávara. Se espera la asistencia de más de 50 jefes de estado y de gobierno, según el sitio web del evento.

Sin embargo, Trump no asistirá. Estados Unidos estará representado por el secretario de Estado, Marco Rubio, y por más de 50 congresistas, según informó Reuters el presidente de la conferencia, Wolfgang Ischinger.

(CNN) — A little more than a week before the 2026 Winter Olympics were set to begin, Annika and Niklas Malacinski dialed into a Zoom call from their World Cup event in Austria. The sibling tandem from Steamboat Springs, Colorado, are among the best in the US in Nordic combined, which combines perhaps the most disparate sports possible: cross-country skiing and ski jumping.

While its peculiar sport partnering is a worthwhile trivia stumper, Nordic combined is one of the 16 original Winter Olympics events, dating back to the Games’ origins in 1924 in Chamonix, France.

It’s also the only winter sport to never allow women to compete at the Games.

Which means Niklas, ranked 29th in the world, will be part of Team USA in Milan-Cortina; Annika, ranked 10th, will not.

The continued exclusion of women flies in the face of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) messaging, which has been trumpeting its equality and expansion.

The 2024 Games in Paris were hailed for their gender parity, the first Games with a 50/50 split among men and women competitors. Milan-Cortina is not far off with women making up 47% of the competitors slated to attend. The Games also keep broadening their reach to new or revisited sports – breaking (breakdancing) in Paris; ski mountaineering in Milan; squash, lacrosse, cricket and flag football in Los Angeles.

Yet the mountain remains closed to women in Nordic combined.

“I have been screaming at the top of my lungs about this because someone needs to do it,’’ Annika told CNN Sports. “It’s 2026 and this is just blatant. It’s so unequal. It’s sexist. It’s not right and I tend to be a person who stands up when things aren’t right.’’

Why is this happening?

The twist in this particular battle of the sexes, though, is that the women aren’t threatening the men anymore than the men are keeping the women down. In fact, they need each other.

The IOC’s refusal to add women’s Nordic combined stems, at least in part, because of its concerns about the sport in general. The men’s numbers have been declining – only 36 athletes will compete in these Games, down from 55 in Beijing in 2022 – and it’s long suffered from a lack of parity. Germany, Austria or Finland have won all but two gold medals since 1924.

In fact, the IOC might consider booting the sport altogether in June.

But women could very well be the solution to the entire problem as their numbers are growing in the competitive space. The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) only started hosting a women’s World Cup in 2020 but more than 200 women are now competing.

The Winter Youth Olympic Games sponsor the sport as well, and unlike the men, there is diversity at the top. Athletes from seven different countries, including Japan, rank among the top 10 in the current women’s World Cup standings compared to just the traditional four for men.

“I get so upset when people comment on my posts saying, ‘Let’s boycott the men,’ because it’s the complete opposite,” Annika said. “We need people to be talking about Nordic combined and to be watching it. That’s what my activism is: It’s shedding light on how cool and badass this sport is. We need to support each other.’’

The Malacinskis did not set out to be poster children for their sport or activists. But because their intertwining sibling stories have taken, to no fault of their own, wildly different trajectories, it makes an easy way to tell a complicated story. Niklas gets to compete in 2026; Annika doesn’

(CNN) — The world is in an era of “wrecking-ball politics” led by US President Donald Trump, and it’s putting the decadeslong prosperous international order under unprecedented strain, according to the Munich Security Report 2026.

The annual report, released ahead of the Munich Security Conference, described Trump point blank as the most powerful figure challenging existing rules and institutions, arguing that his approach risks dismantling long-standing alliances and norms.

“More than 80 years after construction began, the US-led post-1945 international order is now under destruction,” the report said.

The report labeled Trump one of the most prominent “demolition men.”

At last year’s event, which annually gathers top security officials and academics, Vice President JD Vance shocked the audience with a speech lambasting European leaders on censorship and migration and claiming the continent’s threat came from “within.”

Vance’s speech, then just a few weeks into the second Trump administration, set the tone for a year of tumult, including punitive US tariffs on close European allies, the threat of US military action to take over the territory of Greenland from NATO ally Denmark, and deference to Russia over its illegal invasion of Ukraine.

The report also called Trump “the most powerful of those who take the axe to existing rules and institutions.”

His actions could yield “a world shaped by transactional deals rather than principled cooperation,” it said.

Critics fear Trump’s policies “will pave the way for a world that privileges the rich and powerful, not the wider mass of people who have placed their hopes in disruptive change,” according to the report.

Public opinion surveys conducted for the report show much of the world is already fearful that is happening.

The surveys show widespread skepticism that governments can really fix problems like the affordability crisis, rising inequality, declining upward mobility, and stagnating or declining living standards.

There is “a growing sense of growing individual and collective helplessness and doom,” the report said.

In France, 60% of respondents said their government’s policies will leave future generations worse off, as did 53% in the United Kingdom and 51% in Germany. In the US, that figure was 45%.

And the surveys put most of the blame for that sense of doom on Trump.

Asked if the US president’s policies are good for the world, half or more of the respondents in the US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, Brazil and South Africa said they slightly or strongly disagreed.

The Munich Security Conference runs Friday through Sunday in the Bavarian city. More than 50 heads of state and government are expected to attend, according to the event’s website.

Trump, however, is not going. The US will be represented by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and by more than 50 members of Congress, conference chairman Wolfgang Ischinger said, according to a Reuters report.
