What a second Trump presidency might mean for the rest of the world

Posted on 7 May 2024

New article by Dr Chris Featherstone

Dr Chris Featherstone has an article published on The Conversation on 3rd May.

In the article "What a second Trump presidency might mean for the rest of the world"

Chris says with just over six months until the US election, the world is starting to consider what a return to a Trump presidency might mean. While Americans might be weighing up the difference between the two candidates domestic policies, the rest of the globe is more interested in what foreign policy decisions he might make.

Chris concludes "Based on campaign remarks and his previous policies, another Trump presidency threatens to deepen US isolationism and backslide on US commitments to international bodies. Given this Trump 2.0 foreign policy, it is hard to see any positives in foreign policy for the rest of the west from a Trump victory this November."
