Sir Richard Branson says history will remember this time as when the West's trust in America 'ended'

^{Published on 2025-05-06 08:00:43 - Fortune}

Branson lambasted the new Donald Trump administration, comparing current actions to Roosevelt hypothetically siding with Hitler in World War II.

Branson reflects on a pivotal moment where the West's trust in America has significantly declined, marking a historical turning point.

Branson emphasizes the importance of leadership and integrity in restoring confidence and suggests that the future will depend on how America responds to these challenges.
