Donald Trump's goal is to strike fear into the heart not of America ’s foes, but rather its friends.

American presidents have traditionally seen allies as a “force multiplier” something that magnifies American power and applies it more effectively.

Trump views allies both as competitors and burdens.

He wants US allies to spend more of their own money on defence and to buy more goods from the US .

Like the leaders of Russia and China , Trump seems to view the world as split into spheres of influence in which powerful countries are free to bully their neighbours.

Many countries will conclude that America is just another aggressive great power to be managed, rather than a country that at least pays lip service to international law.
