Trump put America first

Trump has worked to renegotiate trade deals. He has held a harder stance with America’s trading partners accusing many, such as China and Mexico, of unfairly profiting from the US. He has also accused other nations of taking advantage of the US. He has called for other members of international organisations, such as NATO, to meet their commitments to the organisations and not rely on the US. In 2017, Trump exited the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement to pursue American interests and protect American jobs. Trump renegotiated the NAFTA agreement, now United States-Mexico-Canada agreement. This was in order to fulfil his campaign promise of better deals for American workers and companies^[1]. Trump has also taken a harder line on trade with China. This has meant imposing sanctions on Chinese imports and calling for a ban on Huawei products and their 5G technology. Trump has vowed to “end our reliance on China”^[2]. All these measures have been Trump’s work towards fulfilling his promise to put America first.
