US President Donald Trump’s “America First” ideology, which generally takes precedence over international, depends on the assumption that the world needs America more than the world needs America.

It may be correct for the status quo. According to the World Trade Organization's global integrated trade solution, the United States is the largest importer and one of the largest exporters in the world.

But change is underway. Countries are looking for ways to respond to Trump’s nationalist gestures.

Southeast Asian countries that are hit by Trump’s tariffs are uniting to increase intraregional trade and diversify export destinations. After assessing the severity of the Trump threat, China appears ready to strengthen its fiscal stimulus.

This is not because the United States has a monopoly on all aspects of international affairs. China controls most of the supply chain of rare earth elements and key minerals such as nickel and copper. Trump's green light on deep-sea mining of these elements shows that the United States is catching up with China.

A “America First” policy may backfire because it drives other countries to take measures that may put the United States behind.

Trump signs order to boost deep-sea mining
U.S. President Donald Trump signed an exhaustive executive order on Thursday to begin a controversial deep-sea mining practice that uses heavy machinery to remove minerals and metals from the seabed. The move attempts to give the United States strategically important minerals such as nickel, copper and rare earth elements, thus offsetting China's dominance in key mineral supply chains.

Southeast Asian countries turn to each other
Asian countries that were export-oriented due to Trump's "reciprocity" tariffs and the subsequent U.S.-China trade war. China is one of the largest trading partners of these countries, while the United States is a strategic partner in areas such as defense and development.
