Erosion of US credibility among traditional allies (Australia, Malaysia); potential realignment toward alternative security arrangements; rise of regional powers filling US leadership vacuum; weakening of US-led alliance structures; increased autonomy-seeking by allied nations.
Similar to 1973 Yom Kippur War period when US credibility gaps prompted allies to pursue independent foreign policies; echoes of Cold War uncertainty when unpredictable leadership destabilized alliances.

Households face potential inflation from energy price volatility, higher import costs due to trade policy uncertainty, and reduced purchasing power if markets decline. Defense spending may increase, crowding out social spending.
Governments likely to pursue trade diversification away from US dependency, strengthen regional security alliances (e.g., AUKUS expansion), establish currency hedging mechanisms, and potentially increase defense budgets. Central banks may adjust monetary policy in response to geopolitical risk premiums.
