Contrary to the idea that Trump opposes globalization entirely, the speaker argues that he is a partial globalist. Under this perspective, Trump recognizes the benefits that globalization can provide to America, especially through economic integration with major trading partners. During his presidency, Trump traveled extensively—visiting Japan, South Korea, and China—and these trips resulted in commitments from these nations to purchase more American goods. This indicates that Trump’s strategy was not to retreat from globalization but to reshape and leverage it to serve American interests.
