The Trump Corollary: America Re-Enters the Global Power Struggle

For more than two decades, the world has been renegotiating who sets the rules—and who enforces them. Since China’s entry into the WTO, America largely financed its own decline, writing checks while jobs, industries, and leverage hollowed out at home. In this conversation with Dr. Anders Corr, we examine how the Trump Corollary marked a turning point—pulling the United States back into an open contest for global supremacy. We also discuss Iran, the risks of deeper U.S. entanglement, and whether America can reassert power without repeating the mistakes of the past.
