What Trump's Foreign Policy Could Be: Key Issues

Translate In Arabic

As Donald Trump plans to run for president again, many are looking to his past foreign policy actions to see what the future may hold. If Trump won a second term, it is likely that his foreign policy would remain anchored in his "America First" approach, focusing on national interests, economic self-sufficiency and reluctance to be included in multilateral agreements.

Trump's first term has been marked by a strong move towards reducing US involvement in foreign conflicts and rethinking the country's role in global diplomacy. He has often questioned the effectiveness of traditional alliances such as NATO, and his administration has withdrawn from major international agreements, such as the Iran nuclear deal and the Paris climate accord, arguing that these agreements were not in the best interests of the United States. united This skepticism towards multilateralism and this preference for direct bilateral negotiations should continue during a possible second term. When it comes to trade, Trump's "America First" doctrine should be a focal point. The focus is expected to be on fairer deals, especially with economic powers like China. Throughout his first term, Trump has pushed for tariffs on Chinese goods and tried to renegotiate deals that he says put the United States at a disadvantage. In a second term, Trump is likely to maintain his tough stance, perhaps doubling down on efforts to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.

 Another obvious area is defense and military strategy. Trump's first term has been marked by a push by NATO allies to spend more on defense while questioning America's role as a global police force. His second term could be marked by renewed efforts to reduce the US military presence in certain regions, especially if it means easing the financial burden on American taxpayers.

Trump is also expected to continue building strategic partnerships with countries such as Israel and Saudi Arabia. His tough stance against terrorism and his "tough on crime" rhetoric suggest that his foreign policy is likely to prioritize security issues, particularly in the Middle East.

 Ultimately, a second Trump term could mean more unilateral action, an economically focused approach, and a world where diplomacy is driven primarily by national interests rather than multilateral cooperation. His leadership style, focused on pragmatism and a transactional vision, could redefine how the United States interacts with the rest of the world.
