In reality, the United States is trying to conduct a mercantilist policy

Donald Trump’s economic policy decisions can be interpreted as resulting from a desire to conduct a mercantilist policy in the United States: The United States is trying (with the threat of tariffs) to get other countries to buy more US products; This leads it to oppose climate agreements, because it increasingly exports natural gas and fuel; Trump is trying to get the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, with a view to weakening the dollar, and is threatening other countries with sanctions for manipulating their currencies. Recall that mercantilism is a growth strategy based on obtaining external surpluses with other countries with the help of a depreciation of the exchange rate.
