The United States of America was the main promoter of multilateralism and the development of international law in the 20th century, the example par excellence was the establishment of the United Nations System. However, Donald Trump’s arrival to the presidency has revealed some challenges for the multilateral sphere in key aspects. Although recent foreign policy actions of his administration have tested the global governance system, it has been demonstrated that multilateral action is still the best way to face the greatest problems of humanity. To address these challenges, various international agenda topics and norms might prove their resiliency to face the distance of the USA towards the system it was the architect of.

Keywords : multilateralism; foreign policy; global governance.
