【Abstract】
Many core figures central to the Trump Administration lack prior experience in government, while American Exceptionalism and xenophobia have gained currency. Despite the opposition of policymaking professionals across various government agencies, and instead of formulating a concrete, internationalist foreign policy, the Administration is simply denying the conventional wisdom of established policymaking. Further, as Trump’s political fortunes begin to wane, the Administration appears to be adopting the same reactionary tactics of the 2016 Presidential election by appealing to its core support base. Although the fight against ISIS, immigration policy and Trump’s ‘America First’ economic agenda remain the focus of foreign policy, greater precautions are being taken against North Korea and various factors could cause U.S.-China relations to deteriorate in the longer-term. To date, the Administration has concentrated on relatively symbolic issues, all the while neglecting the stability of the international system and forfeiting its capacity to participate in international affairs. This adjustment represents a significant challenge to the post-Cold War global and regional orders. In the short term, as the Trump Administration’s isolation from international society
deepens, the close personal relationship between President Trump and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe may render Japan America’s only international partner alongside the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether this situation would be sustainable in the long-term.
Keywords: Donald Trump, United States, East Asia, U.S.-Japan Alliance, U.S.-China Relations
