Abstract

The foreign trade policy of the Biden administration, due to the dominance of economic and political considerations and the priority given to the internal economic problems of the United States itself, has largely retained the same protectionist, nationalist-populist nature of the trade policy characteristic of Donald Trump's presidency. It is devoid of strategic vision and is fraught with uncertainty and the real prospect of continuing existing trade and economic contradictions and conflicts, even with the closest allies and partners of the United States, and the emergence of new ones.
