Donald Trumpʼs return to power signals big changes in US foreign affairs. His unique deal-making style (which made waves during his first term) will shape Americas global position
The president-electʼs main focus lands on China trade: He wants to put 60-percent taxes on Chinese goods and push for a new trade-deal. His relationship with Xi Jinping remains complex - Trump calls him “strong“ but plans tough actions against Beijing
I very much respect President Xi‚ I got to know him very well
The Middle-east situation needs quick fixes. Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump had good ties before but now things look different: Trump wants Israel to “get its victory“ in Gaza but doesnt support any cease-fires. His Iran policy might get tough - he talks about hitting nuclear sites first
On Ukraine war Trump makes bold statements: he says hell end it in one day. His plan includes pushing Volodymyr Zelensky to make peace with Russia or lose US help. The NATO countries worry about his views on defense spending - he thinks many dont pay enough
Here are his other key plans:
* Start biggest-ever deportation program
* Cut US dependence on China-made goods
* Change refugee programs rules
* Make new deals with Taiwan
His India ties might stay good since Narendra Modi and him got along well before. But his tech policy needs work: while Silicon Valley likes him he hasnt said much about AI or cyber-security yet
