Abstract
Trump’s bellicose foreign economic policy served to undermine U.S. economic relations across the globe. In an attempt to extract concessions with threats and extortion, rather than cultivate accommodations, Trump’s truculence ended up being self-defeating for America’s most important international economic interests. Beyond directly placing other nations in a confrontational posture, this combative style has served to undermine American economic interests in a deeper way as a result of compromising the soft power that had for years buttressed stable relations with America’s economic partners. This paper evaluates the ways in which this soft power was undermined and offers suggestions for rebuilding that soft power in the post-Trump years.
