This chapter compares Biden's administration's alliances and initiatives in Asia, such as the Alka's alliance and the Quad partnership, with Trump's preference for bilateral negotiations and America-first policies. It discusses how Biden prioritizes strategic planning and strengthening relations in the region, contrasting with Trump's transactional and isolationist mindset. The potential impact on trilateral relationships between Japan, South Korea, and the US under a Trump administration is also examined.
