“America First”
President Donald Trump promises to fundamentally alter the US’s role in the world with his “America First” policy: tearing up trade deals, stepping back from global institutions, and championing US industries and workers. The slogan, popularized by 1930s Nazi sympathizers, has raised fears of a new era of zero-sum politics and isolationism, as well as worries about which Americans will, in fact, be put first.
