Policies governing everything from trade and investment to energy and exchange rates are wielded as tools to win diplomatic allies, punish adversaries, and coerce those in between.

The result is a playing field sharply tilting against the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGeoeconomics\u003c\/i\u003e, the use of economic instruments to advance foreign policy goals, has long been a staple of great-power politics.
