Trump claims victory in U.S. election raising concerns for New Zealand's foreign policy
Donald Trump has claimed victory in the U.S. presidential election, defeating Democrat Kamala Harris. This marks a significant political comeback for Trump, who previously lost to Joe Biden and is a convicted felon.
His win could have implications for smaller democracies like New Zealand. Experts warn that Trump's approach may lead to increased tariffs and a shift away from multilateralism, which is important for New Zealand's foreign policy.
Trump's victory may also affect international relations, particularly regarding aid to Ukraine. He has indicated a willingness to cut support, which could alter the dynamics of global politics.
