The article explores the implications of American foreign policy under President Trump, framed through the lens of 'sovereigntism', a term associated with a unilateral approach rooted in national self-interest. Tracing its historical roots to the early 20th century, the piece argues that this perspective has led to a disregard for international alliances and norms, suggesting a significant shift from multilateral cooperation toward a model where the U.S. pursues its goals with minimal concern for global governance or the implications of its actions on other nations.
The concept of sovereigntism resists the idea of mutual restraint among nations, focusing instead on a country’s ability to act without regard for international considerations.
Sovereigntists prioritize national interests, often disregarding historical commitments to international agreements or alliances in favor of a more insulated national policy.
