TEHRAN TIMES -- Mahmood Monshipouri, Ph.D., is professor of International Relations at San Francisco State University and lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley. He wrote this opinion piece for the Tehran Times.
“The significance of Biden’s victory cannot be emphasized enough both in terms of its domestic and global implications. That said, let us be clear about one larger point: the undoing of the damage done by Trump is no mean feat by any metrics and may take much longer than expected,” Monshipouri wrote. “The irreversible damage to the U.S. standing in the world cannot be undone by Biden’s presidency any time soon, in large part due to the lost trust resulting from the confusion and disorderliness of the Trump administration.”
