As Martin Wolf (FT) concludes:
'Trump is waging economic & political war on US allies & dependants. But the resulting collapse in trust of the countries that used to share its values will end up very costly for the US, too'...
In other words, tearing down the (some might say quasi-imperialist) global system previous American governments engineered is starting to look a lot like Brexit... yet more, Right-driven self-harm.
The difference being the global impact will be much bigger.
