The United States and Asia in 2019

In: Asian survey, Band 60, Heft 1, S. 8-20

Abstract

The Trump administration's policy on Asia in 2019 displayed a mix of overreach and fecklessness. In terms of economic, strategic, and cooperative relations, the US floundered, stumbled, and fell short, particularly in its efforts to deal with China and North Korea. Overall, observers saw more grandstanding than anything else.
