Trump's election victory raises questions about U.S. foreign policy direction in Europe and the Middle East

slate.com

Donald Trump’s recent election victory has raised concerns in Europe about his foreign policy approach. During his previous term, Trump favored an "America First" strategy, questioning U.S. alliances and defense commitments, particularly in NATO and Asia. Trump has indicated he would end U.S. support for Ukraine, suggesting he might cut off aid to Kyiv. His relationship with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been strained, and he has expressed skepticism about U.S. involvement in the conflict. In the Middle East, Trump supports a strong military response from Israel against Hamas, aligning closely with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This could lead to escalated military actions, including potential strikes on Iran, as Trump aims to assert U.S. influence in the region.
