Isolationism

 Isolationism

Some experts believe that the policies of the current U.S. President mark the beginning of a new era of isolationism.

Isolationism refers to a political principle or practice where a country focuses solely on its own interests and avoids political or economic involvement with other nations. This approach has periodically influenced U.S. foreign policy, often emerging as a response to perceived failures or challenges in managing costly or risky international commitments.

Benefits: Greater domestic control, avoidance of conflict.
Disadvantages: Ineffective in addressing global issues, often hampers economic growth.
