US foreign policy in 2025
There will be large areas of continuity in US foreign policy no matter who wins the November presidential election. But the differences between the candidates’ attitudes towards alliances and multilateralism are significant – and that could make all the difference
AS THE US presidential election draws near, many are wondering what it will mean for American foreign policy. The answer is wrapped in uncertainty.
First, who will win the election? At the beginning of the summer, polls showed Donald Trump well ahead of President Joe Biden. But now that Vice-President Kamala Harris has become the Democratic Party candidate, polls show her with a slight lead.
The problem, of course, is that if voter sentiments can swing so quickly, predicting where will they lie on Nov 5 is all but impossible. While Harris has demonstrated impressive political skill, democratic politics is full of surprises.
