For those who hope that Donald Trump has no views on foreign policy, forget it. Not only does he have a view about America’s role in the world, but it is one shared by many Americans. He may or may not cosy up to Vladimir Putin, have a trade war with China or even build his wall. But on the biggest question of all, from which everything else flows, the question of US responsibility for global order, he clearly has little interest in continuing to shoulder that burden. He aims to put America First, which means we are closer to the end of the 70-year-old US world order
那些希望唐納•川普(Donald Trump)沒有外交政策立場的人,放棄吧。他不僅對美國在世界上的角色有立場,而且這立場還與很多美國人一致。他會不會向弗拉迪米爾•普丁(Vladimir Putin)示好、與中國展開貿易戰、甚至建起高牆,現在都不確定。但是在美國對於全球秩序的責任問題上——這是最重大的問題、也是其他所有問題的源頭——他明顯對繼續承擔這個重擔沒什麼興趣。他的目標是以美國爲先,這意味著長達70年的美國世界秩序更加接近終結。
