Zusammenfassung: | The article aims to show theoretical approaches to President Trump's economic strategy, the major directions of his economic reforms, and their results and contradictions. The author reviews the background of Trump's economic ideas which have the roots in neoliberal economic schools and economic policy of former President R. Reagan. It is shown that Trump's economic ideology as well as practices contain a lot of internal contradictions. It is especially true for differences between his domestic quite liberal approach to economic policy which reflected in tax legislation and deregulation policy and protectionist foreign economic strategy which has nothing in common with liberal approach to foreign trade and economic globalization in general. Trump's economic reforms can be divided into two big groups – domestic economic policy and foreign economic policy.

As to the foreign economic policy it raises even more questions. According to many opinions the rising protectionism may be much more harmful for the US economy than beneficial. Also it is very doubtful to have a largescale return of American companies to the US territory promised by President Trump. The current trends of reshoring are very modest. The US Administration also failed to balance the foreign trade which also was one of the most important goals of Trump's economic agenda. Several other important goals of Trump's administration were also not achieved. Among them – to cancel Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare"), passed during Mr. Obama presidency, to pass a new immigration law, to start massive infrastructure reform. The author makes a conclusion that despite the economy is still in a pretty good shape the most important goals of Trump's |
