What Trump's win means for Ukraine, Middle East and China

Summary

Donald Trump’s return to the White House signals a shift toward "America First" foreign policies, emphasizing non-interventionism and trade protectionism.

Trump has vowed to end the Russia-Ukraine war “in a day” through negotiation, though critics argue his approach may weaken Ukraine’s position.

In the Middle East, he promises to bring "peace," likely reverting to pro-Israel policies and a hard line on Iran, which could further destabilize the region.

On China, Trump may re-escalate trade tensions and take a tough stance on Taiwan by threatening severe tariffs to deter Chinese aggression.
