Reuters noted five major changes in US foreign policy after the congressional elections. According to agency analysts, the new balance of power will allow lawmakers to adjust the course of the Donald Trump administration. The first step is to cut defense spending and block military appointments to force the White House to seek congressional approval for military action against Iran. In addition, the Democratic Party will have the opportunity to initiate a vote on a new support package in Ukraine, which will lead to an increase in its volume. Washington can also limit or completely stop military aid to Israel. The changes will also affect Latin America, as lawmakers intend to strengthen control over US operations in Venezuela and issues of sanctions pressure on Cuba.
