uring his first term, President Donald Trump redefined American foreign policy, making a shift from global
“America First” stance. His administration prioritized competition with China, pursued trade policies favoring American industries, and withdrew from international agreements, signaling a step back from traditional U.S. commitments to global institutions. Now, as he campaigns for the 2024 presidency, Trump promises to take this agenda even further, vowing to reshape the United States’ role in the world in ways that could bring lasting changes to the international order.
Experts, former advisers, and policymakers are closely analyzing what a second Trump term might mean for America’s allies and adversaries alike. If elected, Trump’s approach could deepen divides with long-standing allies and embolden rivals like China and Russia. While some see this as an opportunity for the U.S. to reclaim control over its own interests, others warn it could lead to a more isolated America, eroding influence and ceding space to other powers in critical regions. As the world anticipates the 2024 election, questions about America’s future as a global leader are at the forefront of international discourse.
