对于一个厌倦了中东战争而且显然接受国内经济问题源于国际贸易这种说法的国家,“美国优先”政策的诱惑是可以理解的。美国有着庞大的国内市场,可以支撑其经济,它还有两个大洋作为安全屏障。然而,如果与全球其他国家脱离接触,美国迟早会变得更为贫穷和小家子气。
The temptations of an “America First” policy are understandable for a country that is tired of wars in the Middle East — and that has apparently been persuaded that international trade is the source of its domestic economic problems. The US has a huge internal market to sustain its economy and two vast oceans to protect its security.
In time, however, the US is likely to become a poorer and meaner place if it disengages from the rest of the world.
