The United States’ role in maintaining trade security, particularly in maritime regions, is undergoing scrutiny in light of current geopolitical conflicts. Historically, the US Navy has been instrumental in safeguarding international shipping lanes against piracy, contributing significantly to the fluidity of global trade. Recent developments, however, such as the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, have highlighted a more complex scenario. These attacks have notably impacted commercial traffic through the Suez Canal, showcasing the intertwining of geopolitical dynamics with trade security. The US response to these situations is often seen as driven more by strategic interests than direct economic motivations, bringing into question the long-term sustainability of this approach.

The United States’ expenditure on patrolling shipping lanes, as reported by the Center for Global Development, is comparatively higher than other countries. This effort has been effective in some regions, like the seas off Somalia, where piracy has been significantly curtailed. However, the US’s involvement in geopolitical conflicts, such as tensions with China over Taiwan and Russia over Ukraine, underscores a different aspect of its global role. These situations highlight the US’s strategic interests, which may align with trade security but are not primarily driven by economic benefits.

The ongoing conflict in the Red Sea poses a different challenge, with the Houthis, backed by Iran, representing a more ideologically motivated threat than typical piracy. The US’s actions in this region have been met with mixed international reactions, partly influenced by the broader political context, including the US’s support for Israel. The US has collaborated with allies like the UK in responding to these threats, but participation from Middle Eastern countries has been limited. The European Union and other European countries have offered support mainly in non-combative roles. Major trade stakeholders like China and India have not engaged militarily, despite having commercial interests in keeping the Suez Canal operational.

The political landscape in Washington also plays a crucial role in shaping these policies. Long-standing US strategies, such as support for Ukraine and Taiwan, could potentially shift with changes in the US administration, as seen in the policy stances of former President Donald Trump. This situation raises concerns about the dependency on the US for maintaining global trade security, especially given the fluctuating nature of its foreign policy and the limited involvement of other major powers. The reliance on the US for safeguarding critical points in the global economy is a risk that the international community continues to navigate.
