After the defeat of the Republicans in the mid-term elections, Donald Trump may turn his attention to foreign policy, making it even more extreme and unpredictable, writes the Economist. According to the publication, internal political restrictions can push the American president to take more active action in the international arena, where he maintains significant decision-making freedom. 1. Foreign policy can become Trump's main tool The economist points out that the American president has already demonstrated his willingness to take drastic foreign policy measures: from Venezuela and Greenland to Iran. Now, faced with the rise of Democrats in Congress, Trump may try to compensate for domestic political failures with high-profile international initiatives. Among the potential areas: continued confrontation with Iran, pressure on Cuba, negotiations with Russia and China, as well as new contacts with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Such activity could increase international instability, especially if Washington begins to reconsider relations with other great powers. At the same time, the publication suggests that in the remaining two years of his presidency, Trump may face the departure of an experienced administration team, which will further complicate the management of foreign policy crises. 2. Ukraine may be the next target for political pressure according to the "Economist", after Iran, one of the main tests for Trump will be the resolution of the war in Ukraine. The publication mentions that the American president has repeatedly criticized Vladimir Zelensky, opposed Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries and publicly placed part of the responsibility for the continuation of the war on Kiev. At the same time, Washington is still exchanging intelligence information with Ukraine and supplying American weapons through its European allies.
