How will Donald Trump lead in a changing world?

"The result was rather expected based on the performance of Kamala Harris, who did not manage to separate her stance from Joe Biden's politics, which had caused dissatisfaction," Dr George Tzogopoulos, lecturer at the European Institute of Nice (Cife), a senior fellow at the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP), and an analyst at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies (BESA), tells Kathimerini.

"Many lower-income Americans saw their wages rise during [Donald] Trump's first term and stagnate under [President Joe] Biden. The voters in the US voted with their minds on their country and their hands in their pockets."

Tzogopoulos argues that, based on Trump's 2016-2020 administration, US foreign policy will likely see a decline in the country's willingness to emphasize alliances with the European Union, Japan and South Korea, among others.
