America First Policy Faces Global Backlash | JQJO

Donald Trump's "America First" policy, prioritizing domestic interests, faces challenges. While the US is a major importer/exporter, countries are adapting. Southeast Asian nations are boosting intra-regional trade to offset US tariffs, and China is strengthening its fiscal stimulus. The US also lags in controlling crucial resources like rare earth elements, prompting initiatives like deep-sea mining to catch up. This suggests Trump's approach may backfire, potentially leaving the US disadvantaged.
