Trump's rhetoric has raised alarm bells not just within the United States but among allies who fear the ramifications of his unpredictable approach to foreign policy. His threats about immigration and tariffs signal a potential shift towards isolationism and economic nationalism that could destabilize existing international alliances.
Experts warn that Trump's tendencies may have dire consequences for global governance. Scott Lucas states, "The erosion of democratic norms by the US under Trump could embolden authoritarian regimes globally, further challenging the existing rights-based world order that relied heavily on American leadership."
The international community is left guessing how Trump will further engage with longstanding allies. Einar Tangen emphasizes that US foreign policy may go through a 'pivot' that prioritizes national interests over global cooperation, impacting trade agreements and international relationships significantly.
Natasha Lindstaedt highlights the risks of Trump's presidency saying, "The upcoming term could be characterized by increased friction with long-term partners as Trump's approach to foreign relations leans towards direct confrontation rather than diplomatic engagement. This risks diminishing US influence in international affairs."
