The article discusses how Trump's administration has navigated U.S. foreign policy through a lens of unilateralism, focusing on American power while withdrawing from global engagement. As the U.S. opts for selective intervention based on national interests, it has simultaneously reduced its military and diplomatic presence worldwide, marked by the absence of ambassadors in key regions. This shift reflects a broader trend of diminishing U.S. global leadership since the end of the Cold War, moving from a stance of promoting democracy to a more isolationist posture post-Iraq war.
The U.S. is withdrawing from its historical role as a moral, military, and economic force, retreating into a pattern of selective unilateral engagement.
Since 1990, the U.S. has shifted from active military deployments aimed at spreading democracy to a gradual receding from global influence and commitments.
