Abstract
In an increasingly competitive world, American power has declined on the international scene since the mid-2000s. While different on innumerable counts, both Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump have shared a diagnosis of a downward trend for American power and have sought to capitalize on American economic strengths. Sanctions use, already increasing under the Obama administration, has exploded under the Trump administration. In concert with President Trump’s zeal for trade wars and tariffs, America under the Trump administration has become much more economically confrontational. While aspects of the Trump administration’s approach may be unique, others represent a continuation of already existing trends and may intensify in an era of great power competition.
