AMERICA'S traditional allies are on the lookout for new friends. They have heard the mantra "America First" from the new president, divining a Trump doctrine: global cooperation last.

Europeans have taken note of Donald Trump's denigration of the European Union (EU) and his apparent esteem for Russian President Vladimir Putin. In Asia and Latin America, leaders have absorbed the deepening possibility that President Trump will deliver on threats to impose punitive tariffs on Mexican and Chinese imports, provoking a trade war that will damage growth and eliminate jobs around the world.
