TOKYO — On Nov. 5, the American people chose former President Donald Trump to lead their nation for the next four years. With the onset of “Trump 2.0,” the U.S.-centric global economic order may be nearing its end, and Asia is poised to feel the effects of the disruptions this major shift could bring.

Trump champions his “MAGA” (Make America Great Again) slogan, aimed at fostering American nationalism and an “America First” agenda. This includes promoting the purchase of U.S.-made products and the hiring of American workers. His main tool for achieving these goals is tariffs, which the incoming president refers to as “the most beautiful word.”
