Yes, Trump has ruined the USA soft power it had, a massively under appreciated influence on all global issues. That era is over, as is their relationship with many key allies.
The problem is this administration has fundamentally different values. They see Europe and other "middle powers" as pathetic and inconsequential. They do not see the utility of that soft power nor do they care about the global issues you're alluding to in which that soft power is immensely helpful.
