America needs a robust and coherent foreign policy to ensure our standing as a leader on the world stage and to maintain the America-led liberal international order of free trade that has seen the world economy thriving for the last 70 years. However, America’s adversaries do not sit idle. They have been actively seeking to displace America’s leadership. Therefore, we must form long lasting strategic partnership with nations that share our democratic values and do not let our guards down when dealing with nations that seek to undermine those values. We must include our core values in all trade deals and negotiations, especially with economic partners who do not share our values. If we do not affirm a robust foreign policy then soon other nations will take the lead and challenge America’s supremacy. That will spell the end of the American era.
