US foreign policy experts warn about major shifts ahead of 2024 election

The once-unified american approach to global affairs has shifted into two distinct paths‚ marking a break from decades of shared views on international matters

A fresh poll by the Teaching Research and International Policy Project shows how far apart the main parties have grown. The survey (done at William & Mary college) asked top minds in international relations to compare possible foreign policies of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump

The experts found big gaps in how each would deal with world partnerships; their findings show a 38% chance that a Trump administration might pull out of NATO — which would change americas role in global defense. The differences dont stop there: international-trade rules and help for other countries also showed major splits

The research points to a key change in US politics — the old agreement between parties on world affairs isnt there anymore. This shift comes as the republican party takes a different path on working with other nations (experts say this started about ten years ago)

The findings by William & Mary experts show that both candidates would take very different paths in dealing with:

  • Global trade fees
  • Help to other nations
  • Taking part in world groups
  • Working with long-time friends

These study results match what many have seen: the way america works with other countries depends more-and-more on which party leads the nations government
