Trump's Foreign Policy Approach

Donald Trump's impending return to the White House suggests a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy, particularly concerning great power relations. Unlike his previous term, where he was somewhat constrained by traditional advisors, Trump is expected to pursue a more aggressive and unconstrained approach this time. He intends to prioritize negotiations and relationships with world capitals over ideological considerations, which may lead to a transactional style of diplomacy that minimizes discussions on human rights or democracy. Appointments of hawks like Marco Rubio as Secretary of State indicate a possible tough stance on China, setting the groundwork for potential confrontation.
