Trump’s victory will bring Ukraine’s defeat closer

Trump’s potential re-election as president of the United States in 2024 could mark a significant geopolitical shift, according to Der Tagesspiegel. The outcome of global affairs might pivot on this event.

Should Donald Trump secure a second term, the United States may undergo a transformation into what some would call an ‘outsider nation.’ While constraints existed in his first tenure, an experienced and more determined Trump could seek to reshape the state apparatus through ideological lenses, settle political scores and advocate more strongly for protectionist policies.

Such a scenario may threaten the stability of NATO and various international bodies. Additionally, the United States could experience heightened internal political polarization, potentially leading to an increase in violent incidents. Trump’s victory could also mean a step closer to Ukraine facing defeat, as Washington might halt its military support, consequently weakening Ukraine’s position. Furthermore, Taiwan’s position in its conflict with China might also face setbacks if Trump wins.
