A Democratic victory in the midterm elections for the US Congress may lead to an examination of President Donald Trump's foreign policy. After gaining control of the two chambers, they will be able to limit his decisions on five international issues, writes Reuters. Starting in January, the Democratic Party will be able to set the legislative agenda and use budget powers to put pressure on the administration, the agency notes. Reuters identified five possible changes in Washington's foreign policy: - Ending the war with Iran. Democrats may seek a cessation of hostilities if Trump does not receive congressional approval to continue the operation. To put pressure on the administration, they can cut defense spending, delay the approval of candidates for government positions and demand public reports on plans regarding Iran, the agency notes. In the past, both chambers approved a resolution to end hostilities without congressional approval, but the administration ignored it. - The renewal of aid to Ukraine. According to Reuters, many Republicans are also able to support the initiative, which would allow them to win the two-thirds of the votes needed to override a presidential veto. In addition, Congressman Gregory Meeks introduced a bipartisan bill against Trump's plan to put Russian diesel back on the world market. - Limiting aid to Israel. Democrats may reduce or end military support for the country as its popularity within the party declines due to the war in the Gaza Strip. The basic amount of American aid to Israel is $3.8 billion per year, the material states. - Reducing military spending and returning foreign aid. The Democratic Party may oppose Trump's proposal to increase the defense budget by 67%, to $1.5 trillion. In the past, this initiative was blocked in the Senate.
