“I will always put America first,” Donald Trump told the UN General Assembly last month. The president assuredly has, at least in the sense of consistently advocating for his America First agenda as outlined on the campaign trail. The policies he proposed then were a jolt to the foreign policy establishment and to America’s longstanding role in the world. Yet on trade, alliances, immigration and international agreements, Mr Trump again and again found support from his campaign audiences. The question now is whether that support is growing or shrinking.
唐納•川普(Donald Trump)上月在聯合國大會上表示:「我將永遠把美國放在第一位。」美國總統無疑做到了這一點,至少就一如既往地倡導他在競選期間提出的「美國優先」議程而言是這樣。他提出的政策震撼了外交政策體制內人士,也動搖了美國在世界上的長期角色。然而,在貿易、同盟、移民和國際協定問題上,川普一次又一次從他的競選受衆那裏找到了支持。現在的問題是,這種支持是在增強還是在減弱?
