US President-elect Donald Trump has positioned himself as a potential peacemaker in global conflicts, claiming he could quickly resolve issues in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific. He asserts that his personal relationships with leaders like Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy would facilitate peace deals. Trump has suggested he would pressure Ukraine to negotiate with Russia, potentially leading to a standstill agreement that could favor Russia. In the Middle East, he aims to end ongoing conflicts but has shown little commitment to addressing the Israeli-Palestinian situation. Regarding China, Trump has indicated a less certain stance on supporting Taiwan compared to outgoing President Joe Biden. He plans to impose tariffs on Chinese goods and has criticized trade practices in India, advocating for reciprocal trade measures.
