The 10-day-old government shutdown is already beginning to hurt U.S. foreign policy by causing "increasing uncertainty" about America, former President Jimmy Carter's national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski said Thursday.

"It's creating increasing uncertainty about the United States, and the loss of confidence in the United States is itself damaging to the [nation]," he told Newsmax TV in an exclusive interview.

Brzezinski, now a counselor and trustee of the Center for Strategic International Studies, said America's influence, especially in the Middle East, has been in decline for a decade.
