We analyse the possibilities and consequences of changing the US foreign policy in terms of cooperation with Asian allies since Trump became the US President. The goal of the paper is to answer the question of what the political strategy of President Trump is and whether he will manage to implement it, and what the reaction of the allies will be in response to it. Institutional and functional considerations are settled in the economic reality, analyzing the economic indicators of the USA and selected countries of the Pacific region and China (the latter declairing the will to take over the USA’s place in the region and in the world). The hypothesis that the way of conducting US foreign policy will not affect the density of the real US relations with their allies in the transpacific space is positively verified. What will change in the short and medium term will be the increase in US foreign policy costs. In a broader sense, the American alliance with the countries of East and South-East Asia will survive the turbulence in the US policy. Regardless of China‘s willingness to take the place of the US in international relations, it does not constitute a competitive partner, able to replace the USA.
Analizujemy możliwości i konsekwencje zmiany polityki zagranicznej USA dla współpracy z azjatyckimi sojusznikami po objęciu przez Trumpa urzędu Prezydenta USA. Celem jest odpowiedź na pytanie, jaka jest strategia polityczna Prezydenta Trumpa i czy ją zrealizuje oraz jak na tą strategię zareagują sojusznicy. Rozważania o charakterze instytucjonalno-funkcjonalnym osadzamy w rzeczywistości gospodarczej, analizując wskaźniki gospodarcze USA i wybranych państw regionu Pacyfiku oraz Chin (deklarujących wolę zastąpienia USA w regionie i w świecie). Pozytywnie weryfikujemy hipotezę, że sposób prowadzenia polityki zagranicznej przez USA nie wpłynie na gęstość realnych związków USA z ich aliantami w przestrzeni transpacyficznej. Tym, co się zmieni w krótkim i średnim okresie będzie wzrost kosztów prowadzenia polityki zagranicznej przez USA. W podmiotowo szerszym wymiarze sojusz amerykański z państwami Azji Wsch. i Pd.-Wsch przetrwa turbulencje w polityce USA. Niezależnie od gotowości Chin zajęcia miejsca USA w tych relacjach, nie są on partnerem konkurencyjnym, zdolnym zastąpić USA.
