Trump and the Allies

Foreign Affairs: “The United States has dominated the world for generations now. Like a Carnegie or a Rockefeller or a Gates, it has legitimized its extraordinary position by making clear to all that it sees life as a positive-sum game — one in which American power is used to benefit not just Americans but also all those around the world willing to play by the rules, living and trading peacefully with one another.”

“U.S. allies know that better than anybody… Unfortunately,Washington itself seems to have forgotten.”
