A Second Trump Presidency – A Pandora’s Box for the Global Order
According to a poll, 40% of Americans think foreign policy should be a primary issue in this election, which shows that number has nearly doubled since last year. How the U.S. impacts global affairs should be a priority for the U.S. Presidential election. However, the world has no say in who should lead the U.S., while the U.S. leader continues to dictate how the world should be governed; this paradox has continued to bewilder, frustrate, and even intrigue foreign affairs experts. In the ongoing discourse on how the next U.S. election will turn out, there is a complex debate on what a second Trump presidency would look like. Arguably, in his first term, Trump rewrote the global diplomacy rulebook. He had also transformed the domestic political landscape, which saw the attacks on the capitol, an incident that was not expected to occur in the U.S. However, this piece will focus on how a second Trump Presidency would impact international affairs.
