Donald Trump’s striking election victory against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is likely to be a turning point, not just for American politics, but also for the liberal world order. Trump’s election campaign focused primarily on domestic issues: jobs, healthcare, immigration and terrorism. Consequently, anti-globalisation feelings and a retreat of America from international affairs may be a reality in the near future.

To discuss the implications of a Trump presidency on the future of American primacy in the global order, Brookings Institution President Strobe Talbott was in conversation with historian Ramachandra Guha.

Like other products of the Brookings Institution India Center, this report is intended to contribute to discussion and stimulate debate on important issues. The views are of the author(s). Brookings India does not have any institutional views.
