This book offers an extensive account of Donald Trump's foreign policy record in the Indo-Pacific region. Set against the backdrop of Trump's policy of sustained US confrontation with China, it recounts his administration's efforts to shore up America's position with the Indo-Pacific strategy. It also reviews Trump's record with allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific and the South Asian subregion in context of the 'great power competition' between China and the United States. Amidst the ongoing conversations on the declining currency of American internationalism, the volume showcases the seeming insularity of the Indo-Pacific region from forces that are informing an America in retreat. In noting Trump's record to have been a consequential one, the authors also offer insights into the prospects for US policy continuity under Joe Biden.

This timely book will be of great interest to scholars, teachers, and students of politics and international relations, Asia studies, US-China studies, area studies, foreign policy, maritime studies, and world politics. It is a recommended read for all watchers of US foreign policy and the evolving US-China rivalry.
