During the campaign for the re-election of the President of the United States, Donald Trump said that he would be able to end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours. In his victory speech, he said, 'I will not start any war, I will stop the war.' On the campaign trail, he warned that Israel would be “ruined” if he lost the election. He also promised massive new tariffs on Chinese imports. And the whole world is worried about this. British news agency Reuters reported this news.
Now Trump has won. A pressing question now arises at home and abroad: Will he deliver on his long list of threats, promises and declarations on foreign policy?
However, Trump did not say anything in detail about foreign policy. But according to his supporters, his personality and approach will bring world leaders closer to him and calm a world on fire.
But both America's friends and foes are on alert. Trump is expected to return to office in January. They wonder if the second term will be as volatile and uncertain as his first four years?
Trump's first term presidency was often characterized by his 'America First' protectionist trade policies and isolationist rhetoric on the world stage. One of them is the threat of leaving NATO.
At the same time, he tried to organize a summit with North Korea, using his trade deal-making image. But it ultimately failed to stop North Korea's nuclear weapons program.
Mediated normalization talks between Israel and several Arab countries, with some success.
Europeans are still reeling from Trump's first term, analysts at the European Council on Foreign Relations wrote in a blog during the election. They have not forgotten the former president's deep hostility to tariffs, the European Union and Germany.
However, analysts believe that ending the war in Gaza and Lebanon and integrating Israel into the Middle East may be at the top of Trump's Middle East policy. Palestinian National Initiative leader Mustafa Barghouti said, 'Netanyahu will face a tough president. Because Trump will not tolerate wars going on like this. But it won't make much of a difference to the Palestinians. Because both administrations were completely biased against Israel.'
Former Israeli diplomat Alon Pincus said Trump would likely urge the Israeli prime minister to “declare victory” and then broker a deal.
However, relations between Iran and the United States could worsen and further destabilize the Middle East. In addition, tensions between Israel and Iran in the Middle East may intensify.
Trump took a sometimes chaotic strategy against China during his first term, pushing the world's two largest economies into a trade war. This time he plans to raise tariffs on Chinese goods, which could also affect EU goods. Many economists say such moves would raise prices for US consumers and could cause global financial instability.
