Behind confidence in the full faith and credit of the US lies global trust in US democracy. However, the international impact of Washington’s dysfunction is increasingly tangible. Last month China exploited President Barack Obama’s absence from Asian trade meetings to launch a non-US initiative of its own. And the US government shutdown delayed the critical second round of transatlantic trade talks. Many important bureaucratic functions were put on ice, including monitoring of financial sanctions on Iran and work on fundamental scientific research. As Mr Kerry pointed out, he “could feel and breathe” the world’s doubts about US democracy in his meetings with counterparts. ft/intl/cms/s/0/5d97f272-3d6f-11e3-b754-00144feab7de.html
