Abstract
ABSTRACT Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda seemingly departs drastically from United States foreign policy as practiced for many decades. This paper assesses the implications of the new U.S. approach for its relationship with Canada and for world order more broadly. America First overtly threatens the status of a wide array of bilateral and multilateral agreements as the U.S. seeks new one-sided deals with friends and foes alike. The President’s bombastic populist rhetoric and the labeling of aluminum and steel imports from Canada and other states as national security threats to the U.S. also weaken social cohesion in the western security community. The paper discusses whether U.S. behavior aligns with expectations of international relations theories and explores how Canada and other middle powers are responding to the changes wrought by America First.
