US consent was all that kept multilateral institutions going

Now that, during the second administration of President Donald Trump, the US has actively turned against the notion of multilateralism, it seems that major outstanding issues — from macroeconomic stability to trade management to security disputes — are no longer being dealt with through the multilateral system.
