Jim Cardoso: 我认为印太地区的划分源于对印度洋和太平洋分界线的思考，并被美国军方采纳。这个区域对美国非常重要，因为它在全球GDP中占有重要份额，拥有重要的贸易伙伴，战略水道，以及通往澳大利亚的门户。而且，印太地区对美国本土安全至关重要，因为它直接关系到夏威夷及其他地方。 Ray Powell: 我完全赞同吉姆对印太地区的解释。中国是国际安全挑战的核心，印太地区的国家对此感受最为直接。特朗普政府重新调整国家安全战略，关注中国威胁，是非常重要的。美国的政治体制会影响其对印太地区的看法，特朗普政府的言行对美国盟友至关重要。 Jim Carouso: 我认为中国在南海、台湾、钓鱼岛以及印度和不丹边境的行动表明，过去的威慑力量正在失效。特朗普政府可能会要求印太地区的盟友增加国防开支，这可能会导致紧张关系。特朗普政府可能会继续要求盟友将GDP的2%甚至5%用于国防开支。特朗普政府之前的全球钢铝关税也适用于美国的盟友，这引起了他们的不满。特朗普政府可能会再次以国家安全为由，实施普遍的10%关税。美国的软实力仍然很强大，但如果美国关闭大门，其他国家将别无选择。美国应该与这些国家的科学家、企业和贸易商合作，帮助他们发展经济，摆脱对中国的依赖。
