Views of the United States of America globally are often as polarised as those within the United States itself. President Donald Trump in his second term has stacked his team with loyalists and at home is downsizing the bureaucracy of the federal government, while abroad dismantling US aid, imposing sweeping trade tariffs, and upending assumptions about America long held by the international community and many in the strategic community in the United States itself.“Backlash: Donald Trump and the Remaking of America,” a new book by Nirmal Ghosh, veteran foreign correspondent and a former president of the FCCT, has received high praise for penetrating the noise for an unvarnished look at the paradoxes of a superpower at an uncertain period of geo-political upheaval -- and offers lessons from the rise and return to power of Donald Trump.
