Ignore the bluster – Donald Trump is not an imperialist

Donald Trump's MAGA foreign policy is driven by a haunting sense of America ’s vulnerability and decline.

The old US foreign policy, argues secretary of state Marco Rubio , is obsolete’ Attempts to reshape the world through unrestrained globalisation and foreign interventions have not only failed, but are now also a weapon being used against us’.

Europe falls behind the US in creating new significant growth companies in any field.

In the past half-century , 250 companies worth more than $10 billion were created in the US , compared with just 14 in Europe .

Europe needs far more than just a better industrial policy, it needs a cultural revolution.

But separation from the US will come at a high cost after 80 years under American defence umbrella.
