US Policy After Trump
Donald Trump’s and the Republican Party’s defeat has not allayed Washington’s allies’ concerns. They believe the U.S. retreat from a leadership role and its “America First” approach run too deep to be reversed by an election result, even as they are relieved that democratic institutions continue to function. Allies—including the Five Eyes countries, Germany, Japan, and South Korea—are therefore continuing to diversify their trade relationships, strengthen their military capabilities, and reduce their dependence on the United States. Democratic control of Congress may prompt the Trump administration to coordinate more closely with them, but it does not mean trust will return. European diplomats, meanwhile, believe the time when Europe could rely on Washington to secure its future has passed. Matthew Duss urges Democrats to build an alternative policy, beginning with ending the war with Iran, fighting corruption and holding officials accountable, and linking foreign policy to improving Americans’ economic conditions.
