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.
Congrats to China, Russia and Israel. Ironic that Biden admin mishandling just one of these issues, even while handling others well, may lead to worst outcome of all three. Perhaps a tiny ME country just changed the course of history. In the dumbest timeline at least, for whatever that’s worth.
