Donald Trump: a departure from the principles of his predecessors
Publication Type:


ISSN 2074-6040

The author analyses the results of the fi rst half of D. Trump’s presidential term, including the domestic economic sphere, trade policy, foreign policy, as well as the specifi c style of the President in team building. Over the fi rst two years, Trump has improved a number of economic indicators of the country, but positive trends are unlikely to be long. The author critically assesses Trump’s attempts to establish a "new economic order "in the World with his slogan" America fi rst". The protectionist policy of the new President led to a serious aggravation of trade and economic relations not only with China, but also with traditional Western partners of the US. The new head of the White house completely departed from policy principles pursued by his predecessors since the 1930s, which seriously aff ected relations with Europe, in relations with which he is trying to move to a bilateral basis. Referring to surveys in various countries, the author points out that the authority of US policy under D. Trump has decreased despite his statements to the contrary. As for the prospects of re-election of the current President, the chances of Trump are still small, because he was unable to expand the coalition supporting him.
