Trump's foreign policy raises questions about peace and stability in Europe and beyond
Donald Trump has secured 295 electoral votes in the 2024 presidential election, surpassing Kamala Harris. This marks a significant shift, as Trump gained broader support compared to 2020, winning key swing states and potentially the popular vote for the first time in 20 years. Trump's foreign policy approach, particularly regarding Ukraine, may create tensions with Europe. He plans to negotiate a ceasefire, possibly at the expense of Ukraine's territorial integrity, and intends to shift the financial burden of Ukraine's defense onto European nations. In the Middle East, Trump is expected to strengthen ties with Israel and the Gulf States, potentially leading to more aggressive actions against Iran. Meanwhile, China is likely to seek connections with Trump-friendly figures to mitigate trade tensions, as the global political landscape becomes increasingly unpredictable.
