Isolationism in America

A current issue that is being ignored in today’s business world is Isolationism. It is the government doctrine or policy of taking no active part in other nations current affairs. A nation’s government will not officially acknowledge the isolationism policy. Isolationism is an easy word is when a country will refuse or be reluctant to make alliances, trade agreements, treaties or international contracts.  Countries who follow isolationism, feel that it’s a lot better if all company efforts and resources are used on the nation itself and not on globally which can help in keeping peace and avoid any responsibility binding. America’s isolationism has started a long time back at the time of World War I, but it was more of an ignorant policy. But today, Trump has made many changes across the US. And unfortunately, isolationism policy is that one change that is increasingly prevailing across the United States of America. (Kha, 2018)

Pakistan takes US aids in bulk from America to operate its on-going daily activities. If America stops facilitating Pakistan with this aid, it will be challenging for Pakistan as a whole country to function; it will lead to an economic break down for the country. The currency of USA devaluing will also result in making other currencies more valuable which means more expensive goods and services of the global businesses. (Hogervorst, 2018)
