Abstract

During Trump administration, the US government not only had withdrawn from a series of multilateral agreements and international organizations, but also threat allies to revise the agreement, while the international community stay committed to upholding multilateralism in kinds of ways. The two diplomatic behaviors are in sharp contrast. Firstly, this article analyzes the Trump administration’s “withdrawal” diplomatic behavior through some cases and points out that its essence is unilateralism, which has many negative effects on the United States. Secondly, it briefly stated that the current consensus of the international community is still supporting multilateralism. China and some regional organizations always stay committed to upholding multilateralism. Finally, the comparison shows that under the current background of globalization and global issues, countries should actively advocate the concept of multilateralism and take practical actions to promote the development of multilateralism.
