The ideology of US President Donald Trump “first”, which, in general, priority treats national international, is based on the assumption that the world needs America more than in the world.
This may apply to the status quo. The United States is the largest importer in the world and among the largest exporters, according to World Integrated Trade solutionThe database provided by the World Trade Organization. And its rules are already felt: factories in China are fighting to complete their books about orders due to increased export costs to the USA
But the change goes back. Countries find ways to respond to Trump's nationalist gestures.
The nations of Southeast Asia, which suffered the burden of Trump's tariffs, combine to increase intra-regional trade and diversify their export places. China, after assessing the severity of Trump's threats, seems to be ready to strengthen the fiscal stimulus, and also expand to other foreign markets.
It is not that the US has a monopoly on all aspects of international matters. China controls a significant part of the rare earth supply chain as well as critical minerals such as nickel AND copper. Trump's green light to extract these deep -sea elements is a sign in which the USA play with China.
The policy of “First America” can turn around because it drives other countries to take funds that could leave the United States.
