alliances

In the past, Trump’s “America-first” doctrine isolated and weakened these US alliances.

He also strengthened defence alliances across Asia and the Pacific to counter China's increasing assertiveness in the region.

The post-WWII system of international alliances, underpinned by NATO, is now in grave peril of being unraveled.

Beijing has already built alliances with emerging economies across the so-called Global South.

Trump would destroy the country’s foreign alliances, specifically NATO.
