Former insider tells what really happens if Trump returns to White House
A top-level expert breaks down changes in US foreign policy if Trump wins next year. Deep-dive into international relations shows how Americaʼs global role might shift in unexpected ways
In a recent shake-up Donald Trump picked Sen Marco Rubio and Rep Mike Waltz as his key foreign-policy picks. His team is moving quick to fill top-spots before next years possible win
The ex-presidents first term showed clear patterns: he liked using trade-fees as a tool‚ didnt trust our friends abroad and really pushed hard on border-control (which matches what he said in his rally speeches). His style was messy but got some stuff done – like getting Arab countries to be friends with Israel
The main achievement of that first Trump term was the Abraham Accords
Looking at whats coming next year some countries might have it better than others. Places like Poland and Italy could win Trumps trust while most of Europe might have problems; Some Asian nations actually liked Trump more than Biden because he didnt lecture them about their government style
- Poland and Italy might get special treatment
- Hungary could become a close friend
- Israel might get new weapons for Iran
- Most EU countries will face hard times
Trumpʼs way of doing things is gonna be super-personal – he wants one-on-one meetings with leaders instead of big group talks. The person who controls his daily schedule might end up being super-important cause Trump often listens to whoever talked to him last
When it comes to world problems Trump might push Ukraine to make a quick deal with Russia‚ dont care much about helping them fight. With Israel heʼll probably give them whatever they want and wont think twice about Palestinian issues. His weird friendship with North Koreas leader might also mess up some plans in Asia
The biggest worry isnt that America will get weaker – its economy is still super-strong and growing faster than Chinaʼs. The real problem is that US power might become more rough and pushy‚ making other countries really unhappy
