But in spite of impressions in the media, Trump is not an isolationist, but an extremely aggressive advocate of American interventionism.

The self-proclaimed "master of the deal" is not calling for America withdrawing from the world. Instead, Trump wants to renegotiate the terms under which the United States entangles itself in global affairs. Thus, in a recent interview with The New York Times, he again argued that a number of European members of NATO are failing to pull their financial weight in contributing to the alliance, and if they do not begin to do so, as president of the United States he might not feel obligated to defend them.
