Trump's Global Hegemony Strategy: An Analysis of America-Centric Policies
Tariffs are not the focal point of Trump's policies; rather, he aims to establish the United States as a global leader. According to analyst Ong Lu-Chung, Trump's strategy is designed to make other nations yield politically and economically to the U.S. This 'America First' mentality is reflected across all his policies, from trade negotiations to the selection of international allies, prioritizing American interests.
Ong points out that Trump's approach significantly impacts not only U.S. foreign policy but also creates profound changes in the global economic landscape. In the face of such unilateral policies, other countries need to seek cooperation to counter the pressure from the United States.
