Donald Trump ’s style will be to cut deals narrowly perceived as beneficial to the United States , writes Andrew Hammond .

Hammond: The new realpolitik marks the end of an era in which politics was defined largely by ideology and religion.

The shift to Trumpism is causing panic among the US 's old allies, particularly France and Britain .

Hammond argues that the liberal order may be more effective trying to shore up the global order.

China acts like an imperial power despite its anti-imperialist’ rhetoric, writes Andrew Keen .

Keen: The US has leapt ahead on account of its preeminence in both energy and technology.

Keen argues that China wants to recreate a tributary network of docile vassal states ruled by dutiful, well-funded satraps.

European leaders talk about trying to “ Trump proof” their countries, as if enlisting as Beijing ’s vassals offers a brighter future.

European leaders also seem to have missed that many of their own citizens were getting Trumpy even before the 2024 US election.

Even under Trump , America needs allies and trading partners..
