Donald Trump’s influence on international politics has been substantial, and his presidency (2017-2021) marked a significant shift in the U.S.’s approach to global affairs. Trump’s “America First” policy emphasized national sovereignty and economic protectionism. He prioritized American interests, often at the expense of multilateralism and traditional alliances. Trump’s approach to trade was characterized by a preference for bilateral agreements over multilateral ones. He imposed tariffs on a range of goods from countries like China, the EU, Canada, and Mexico, sparking trade wars and renegotiations of trade deals, such as the USMCA, which replaced NAFTA. Trump led US’s relationship with traditional allies was often strained. He criticized NATO members for not meeting defense spending targets and questioned the alliance’s relevance. His administration withdrew from several international agreements, including the Paris Agreement on climate change and the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA).
Trump sought to improve relations with some traditional adversaries. His summits with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un were unprecedented, though they yielded limited concrete results. He also expressed admiration for leaders like Vladimir Putin of Russia, which caused controversy domestically and internationally. In the Middle East, Trump’s administration recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and moved the U.S. embassy there, a move that was praised by Israel and condemned by many in the international community. His administration also brokered normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab nations (the Abraham Accords). Trump’s administration pulled the U.S. out of several international agreements and organizations, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Paris Climate Agreement, and the World Health Organization (WHO). Trump’s skepticism towards global institutions and multilateral agreements weakened some international frameworks and prompted debates about their future relevance and effectiveness.
Trump’s influence persists even after his presidency. His foreign policy approach continues to shape discussions within the Republican Party and beyond, and his actions have had lasting impacts on international relations and global governance. Overall, Trump’s presidency brought significant changes to U.S. foreign policy, with lasting effects on international politics and global diplomatic relations. Trump’s return to the white house is being foreseen by American analysts. His narrative targeting the alleged ‘deep state’ interference in US politics seems to have made strong roots among the American electorate. A wave of sympathy also fell in his lap following a lethal attack on the Republican stalwart which he narrowly escaped during his election rally in Pennsylvania. The failure of Biden administration in stabilizing the American economy and the democrat’s quest for more conflicts and wars also played a role in Trump’s popularity going through the roof.
International politics has changed a lot since the end of Trump’s tenure in 2021. Middle East is gripped with conflicts and the Biden administration has done very little to prevent the spread of war across borders. Anti Americanism is at its peak especially in the Muslim world, while Russia is still dominating the war in Ukraine. China, on the other hand, is continuing its quite rise. These are the challenges that Donald Trump will face when he comes to power after presidential elections scheduled in the month of November. The American public expects Trump to do away with wars and focus on economy and jobs. His rhetoric targets the ‘deep state’ and the huge American military industrial Complex (MIC) as warmongers who benefit from armed conflicts worldwide. This narrative is unique as far as US presidential elections are concerned as no candidate in the history has openly gone against premiere American agencies such as the CIA.
Donald Trump is known for being unconventional and freestyled while engaging in international deliberations. His verbal online spats with country heads, and his open criticism of both allies and adversaries changed the closed nature of international politics. It seems the 2024 presidential elections will introduce a more powerful and battle-hardened President Trump to the world. Someone who has survived blatant political victimization and an assassination attempt. The recent attempt that could have taken his life easily is being linked by his supporters with his straight forward critique of the ‘deep state’. A president who does not approve of CIA’s policies and endeavours may form an internal rift within the American political system, but at the international level, it may give stability a chance. Trump’s ‘America First’ policy like in the past, seeks to cut defence aids, and focuses on pulling out American forces from what he calls ‘meaningless’ wars.
The world requires cutting down of defence budgets and aids more than ever before. This will definitely be the first step towards control of the spread of armed conflicts. Another important subject will be Trump’s take on Netanyahu’s relentless efforts to wipeout Palestinians off the face of the earth. Will Trump recognize the ongoing genocide of Palestinians, killing of children, and the complete mockery of international humanitarian laws by Israeli defence forces? This will be like expecting too much from a US President given the considerable control of American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in American politics. Since there is no Afghanistan to deal with, the main question at the international front would be that of Palestine. For long, the US has been the guarantor of Israel’s security in the Middle East. How far will Trump go to protect their historic alliance with the State of Israel? If its about stopping wars, then the first thing will be to leash Netanyahu.
