On December 30, 2024, a comment on the Asahi Shimbun article “Where will Trump lead the world? In 2025, the US is heading toward isolationism” by Professor Maiko Ichihara (Graduate School of Law) was published. This article introduces views of former US officials and others on President Trump’s actions that are affecting the international situation. Professor Ichihara argues that if the Trump administration puts American first, the responsibility of maintaining international order will shift to other major powers besides the US, and points out that the Japanese government needs to discuss what kind of international society should be formed and maintained in response to these developments in the US.
