The US government has always had a very aggressive foreign policy. The United States has intervened in dozens of countries all around the world.

But what is unique about Donald Trump is that many of his aggressive policies not only target US adversaries like China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, but also longtime US allies.

Trump has imposed high tariffs that have hurt the economies of key US allies such as Japan, South Korea, and Europe.

In fact, the details of the agreement that Trump imposed on Japan are quite shocking. This was reported on by the Financial Times, which wrote that “Japan confronts the increased price of US friendship”.

Although I would say it’s not so much “friendship”; rather it’s vassalage. Japan has been militarily occupied by the US for 80 years, and we’re now seeing the cost of this imperial relationship.
