Didn't Trump tariff coffee imports from Brazil or some shit? Is this a sign that Trump is anti-globalist?
No, this is called Protectionist trade policies. You can still practice protectionist economic policy in a "globalised" economy.
Like davel said "globalist" isn't really a useful term.
You need to abandon the term “globalism” altogether. The left doesn’t use it, and on the right it’s a dog whistle. The word has no coherent meaning. It’s a floating signifier.
