During his second term's first 100 days, President Trump initiated a global trade war and withdrew from key international agreements, perceiving the existing global system as unfair to the US. His policies reflect a desire to reassert American dominance by leveraging military and economic power while drastically reducing involvement in global cooperation and commitments. This approach diverges from traditional realism, as Trump's impulsive diplomacy and unconventional proposals have reshaped foreign policy dynamics and strategies, marking a departure from former administrations' approaches.
Trump's foreign policy is primarily driven by dissatisfaction with the current global order, which he perceives as unfairly disadvantaging the US.
The Trump doctrine is characterized by a 'smash and grab' mentality, encouraging the US to assert dominance while reducing commitments to allies.
