Description
The productive economic relationship between the United States and Europe was built after World War II. Today, commentators argue that U.S. President Donald Trump is challenging that relationship and seeking to put “America First.” But changes in U.S. policy do not happen out of nowhere. They are a reaction to a changing world in Asia and Europe, and a response to the failures of past U.S. policies to cope with those changes.
