    Abstract

    A year ago[1] the United States had just elected in Donald Trump a Republican president whose hostility to business-as-usual in trade policy helped propel him to victory over his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. In the new President’s view, the economic pillar of the liberal international order – the World Trade Organization (WTO) and trade agreements like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) – was not a generator of US prosperity and a multiplier of its national interest. Rather, these institutions and agreements had sapped US manufacturing prowess, encroached on its sovereignty, and allowed countries like China to unfairly dominate world trade.
