1. End of unconditional support for Ukraine
Trump has expressed skepticism about continued U.S. military and financial support for Ukraine, suggesting it could be reduced or made conditional. This could influence the course of the war with Russia and the stance of other allies.
2. Rethinking the relationship with NATO
Trump has criticized member countries that do not meet their defense spending obligations. His return could mean less U.S. involvement in the alliance, raising security uncertainty in Europe.
3. Mass deportations and immigration control
Trump has promised to implement the largest deportation operation in US history. His immigration policy will affect not only the immigrant population, but also US relations with Latin America.
4. Pro-Israel, but with conditions
Trump has been a staunch ally of Israel and could continue to pursue pro-Israeli policies, but with warnings to his administration to act quickly and avoid protracted conflicts. This could impact US relations in the Middle East.
5. Trade tension with China
Trump has proposed imposing new tariffs on Chinese imports and limiting their access to strategic US sectors. This could increase tensions in the South China Sea and affect global trade.
6. Radical change in environmental policy
Trump has promised to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement and roll back environmental regulations. His focus on fossil fuel exploitation stands in contrast to global sustainability efforts, alarming climate advocates.
