The US has been trying to move away from a Europe and Middle East focused foreign policy since the beginning of the century. This isn't new for Trump. And yes, there are those who strongly believe that US should wring out every last benefit from the post World War II economy that they created and that benefitted us so much.
==================
After 25 years more, it is truly time for the US to move on. We should have done so in 2003, a couple of months into the Iraq War BEFORE we headed to Baghdad wanting to change the government of yet another country and try to make them accept US style democracy. This is a failed policy. The US should be the shining light on the hill, but not the country forcing others to accept our system.
Trump wants out of being the one that runs the world. He wants the US in a greatly reduced role at the UN, NATO, and as a provider of foreign aid. He does eant to be a very rich man.
==========
TRUMP CAMPAIGNED ON NO MORE FOREVER WARS
1) He has so far failed to end the war in Ukraine.
2) He has succeeded in the Abraham Accords and in securing a cease fire, and in greatly reducing Middle East terrorism.
3) Through many threats, trump has helped to stop or shorten many conflicts.
4) He is doing what he can regarding China, no better or worse than most
5) and now, Trump is turning to focus on the Americas.
6) and of course making lots and lots of deals that benefit the US, his family and his friends
====================
WILL THE NEXT COUPLE OF PRESIDENTS MOVE BACK TO THE OLD SYSTEMS?
I suspect not. Europe is much more self-reliant as is the Middle East. We need to move on. After all, it's been over 100 years.
We will probably clean up a bit, reducing Russia's influence in the Americas even more. We will develop an immigration policy that makes sense. And, yes, we will develop CLOSER ties with Canada and Mexico.
Other than that, the focus for the next decade or so will be internal, dealing with our many crises and especially the job situation created by AI and greater automation.
