Baker's choice. Dense with flavour, light on filler.
Summary
The United States has dropped out of the world's top 10 most powerful passports for the first time in 20 years, now ranking 12th globally alongside Malaysia according to the Henley Passport Index. This represents a significant decline from the US passport's previous positions - it was 7th last year, 10th earlier this year, and ranked at the top of the list a decade ago. The decline signals a broader shift in global mobility patterns.
