Significance
Trump’s vision of world order challenges the post-war consensus of US leadership across the post-1945 multilateral global institutions, of which the UN is one. Trump favours more limited multilateralism and greater nation state-based sovereignty, with a preference for bilateralism.
Impacts
Partnerships with Washington will be transactional and warmer in some policy areas than others at any given time.
America First will not affect all international bodies equally; Trump has been less critical of world financial bodies.
America First thinking will determine US preparedness to intervene globally, such as over environmental controls.
