«Since September 11, the USA has taken on the role of police against terrorism»: Bernardo Valente

Now12 September 2026 at 10:20

Bernardo Valente participated in the NOW program on Saturday morning to analyze the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. During his intervention, the analyst spoke about the consequences of the attacks and the impact they had on international politics.

Valente stated that since September 11, the United States has taken on the role of "police against terrorism" globally. This paradigm shift led to a significant reorientation of American foreign policy.

The analyst also addressed the military presence of the United States in the Middle East, which intensified considerably after the attacks. This presence has been maintained over the past two and a half decades, shaping the geopolitical dynamics of the region.

The conversation on the NOW program allowed for reflection on how the world has changed over the last 25 years since that day that altered the course of contemporary history.
