“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.
唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)上月在联合国大会上表示:“我将永远把美国放在第一位。”美国总统无疑做到了这一点,至少就一如既往地倡导他在竞选期间提出的“美国优先”议程而言是这样。他提出的政策震撼了外交政策体制内人士,也动摇了美国在世界上的长期角色。然而,在贸易、同盟、移民和国际协定问题上,特朗普一次又一次从他的竞选受众那里找到了支持。现在的问题是,这种支持是在增强还是在减弱?
