The US wields incredible negotiating power period. In way too many fields. It worked when the country wanted to be a globalist force and lead by example (albeit it was partially pretending to set an example, US exceptionalism is ingrained in US culture and politics). It doesn't work in an anti-globalist world, especially one in which allies are bullied.
