From Argentina to Japan, MAGA is going global.

President Donald Trump’s slogan has long been “America First,” and his movement is all about making America great again — language the president’s foes misunderstand as meaning “isolationism.”

In fact, strengthening America requires strengthening our friends as well — and Trump sets an example for those leaders in Latin America, Asia and Europe who want to make their nations great again, too. (RELATED: Trump Hails, Solidifies ‘Remarkable’ Alliance With Japan Ahead Of Xi Summit)

There’s no paradox here:

A robust international order is impossible if America has to sacrifice its own industrial capacity, and our people’s economic security, to global free trade. That led to a weaker, more dependent America, even as our allies, in the era before Trump, expected us to shoulder most of the burden for their defense.

The “liberal international order” was a suicide pact, building up China while wearing down America — and the system perversely incentivized our friends to prioritize welfare spending over national security needs.

The alternative to that old, failed order isn’t anarchy or Chinese hegemony; it’s cooperation among stronger nations that take their responsibilities — to their own people and to Uncle Sam — more seriously.

Japan is a critical case in point.
