Deep dives
Trump's Foreign Policy Focus
Donald Trump's foreign policy is likely to prioritize two main areas of conflict: Ukraine and the Middle East. He aims to settle the Ukraine conflict and establish better relations with Russia while minimizing the United States' military presence in Europe. However, this strategy faces significant obstacles, particularly with the ongoing war in Ukraine, where reaching a peace agreement may prove nearly impossible. Ultimately, the expectation is for Trump to remain entangled in European affairs, dealing with the complexities Biden left behind, rather than making substantial changes.
