Carta Inter. VL - 16 IS - 3 SE - Artigos DO - 10.21530/ci.v16n3.2021.1173 UR - https://www.cartainternacional.abri.org.br/Carta/article/view/1173 SP - e1173 AB - <p>In 2019, the Trump administration finalized the American withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF Treaty). For three decades, INF was fundamental to the non-proliferation regime, European strategic stability and Russian-American relations. This investigation correlates with prominent American political studies: i) Trump’s populist conservatism; ii) a conflictive global system with the rise of China and the resumption of Russia. This paper employs a qualitative multimethod: causal narrative with the historical method. Two sets of sources are employed: (i) declassified U.S. government documents; (ii) narrative sources. This study is expected to contribute to discussions about Trumpism and American foreign policy.</p> ER -
