Donald Trump’s return to power comes at a time when the world is facing significant transformations in politics, economics, environment, and technology. With two ongoing wars in Europe and West Asia, and great power competition intensifying, the global system is experiencing complex shifts. Nations are still grappling with the aftermath of the pandemic, economic distress, and social unrest. Climate change has become more urgent, while artificial intelligence is disrupting traditional views on labor and decision-making.
Trump’s mandate reflects a desire to recalibrate the U.S.’s role on the global stage. His tenure suggests a focus on pragmatic, interest-driven foreign policy, minimizing unnecessary interventions, and a more calculated approach to global involvement. This marks a departure from the more expansive ideals of liberal internationalism, particularly in the areas of human rights and democracy advocacy.
On climate change, Trump’s return is expected to reverse U.S. commitments, exacerbating the crisis. However, private sector innovation in clean energy could mitigate some damage, although the government’s stance may stymie progress. Protectionism will continue to rise, with trade wars and reduced reliance on China as top priorities, shaping a different global economic landscape.
The relationship with China remains unpredictable, with Trump balancing hawkish stances against economic pressures and diplomatic engagements. The fallout from these policies will ripple across the world, redefining America’s position and its global interactions.
