It seems "American isolationism" doesn´t stop at the Lower 48...
Still, there is a certain logic to Trump´s geopolitics. If the United States directly controls Greenland and the Panama Canal (or even Canada), it doesn´t matter whether the foreign policy is globalist, imperialist-nationalist or isolationist-nationalist. The US can still defend itself thanks to "natural borders". And perhaps extract some rare earth minerals or additional oil?
It would also be logical even for a very nationalist US to have *some* allies on the eastern shores of the Atlantic Ocean, perhaps Norway, Ireland and the UK? Sweden, Finland and poor little Denmark are borderline cases in such a scenario. The rest of Europe might as well join the Russian Federation.
Well, I suppose the race to the bottom just got a little bit more interesting!
Meanwhile, the clock is ticking...
