Donald Trumpʼs return to power brings major changes to US foreign-policy thats gonna reshape global relations (his victory in Nov elections marks start of new era)
The president-elect wants to bring back his first-term style: tough trade deals with China‚ personal diplomacy and America-first focus. His close team says this strong-handed approach is what US needs right now; however there are different world problems to deal with now - like conflicts in Middle-east and Ukraine
I will end Ukraine war in 24 hours
The trade-focused policy means big changes: first up is China‚ where Trump wants to put 60% tariffs on imports. His plans include cutting US-China trade links‚ making new deals with Taiwan (which needs to pay more for protection) and working on personal ties with Xi Jinping
- Stop relying on Chinese goods
- Make new trade deals
- Get more money from allies
In middle-east Trump plans different approach than Biden - he wants Israel to “get victory“ and doesnt support cease-fire talks. His Iran policy will be tough too‚ maybe including military options if needed
On NATO and Ukraine‚ Trump wants European allies to pay more for defense - he even said Russia can “do whatever they want“ to countries that dont spend enough. His Ukraine peace plan isnt clear but might include some kind of deal between Moscow and Kyiv
Immigration policy will see big changes with plans for mass-deportations and new holding places near border. These plans will cost lots of money but Trump says its needed to fix border problems
Tech and India relations might stay same as before‚ with focus on stopping Chinas tech growth and keeping good ties with Modi - even though Trumps America-first ideas dont always match with Indias plans
