Revisiting 'America First': Trade and Economic Strategies

This chapter explores a prominent figure's new interpretation of the 'America First' policy, framing it as a call for international collaboration rather than isolationism. It contrasts the conflicting trade strategies within the Trump administration, particularly the aggressive rhetoric towards countries like Canada and Japan against the more moderate approach of current advisors. The chapter further analyzes the implications of these strategies on both domestic markets and international relations, highlighting the underlying tension and uncertainty in U.S. economic policy.
