America First 'The myth of isolationism'

from Today Explained · host Today Explained

The narrative that the "America First" agenda represents a true return to isolationism is widely considered a political myth by foreign policy experts. While the slogan is often used by critics to imply that the United States is withdrawing from the world, recent analyses from institutions like the Brookings Institution and Foreign Affairs demonstrate that the modern "America First" strategy is not isolationist. Instead, it is an highly assertive, transactional brand of internationalism that seeks to alter how global power is used, rather than retreating from it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/today-explained--6659607/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes! follow us to stay updates with fresh news everyday.
