World media are actively discussing the possible steps of Donald Trump as the President of the United States. His coming to power may significantly influence international politics, particularly in Ukraine, the European Union, and the Indo-Pacific region. Here are the main directions experts are considering.
New Peace Plan for Ukraine and Russia: Key Steps
According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump’s advisors have already developed a plan to resolve the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. The plan includes several main points:
- Conflict Freeze and Creation of a Demilitarized Zone: It is proposed to fix the current frontline and create a demilitarized zone 1300 km long. This will effectively freeze the war but will not resolve the issue of the full return of the occupied territories.
- Ukraine’s Abandonment of NATO Membership for 20 Years: Ukraine, according to the plan, should postpone its aspirations to join NATO for two decades. Instead, the U.S. will continue supplying arms to defend against potential future attacks from Russia. This decision may spark significant controversy, as NATO membership was one of the key goals of Ukrainian foreign policy.
- Absence of Peacekeeping Forces: Deployment of UN or U.S. peacekeeping forces is not being considered. This approach envisions resolving the conflict through political means without the participation of international peacekeepers.
Trump’s Potential Impact on the U.S. and Global Economy
According to The National Interest, in the event of Trump’s return to power, he may consider revising and canceling radical economic initiatives that he proposed during the election campaign. His economic policy will continue to focus on protecting U.S. interests, which may create tension in trade relations with the EU and China.
Possible Influence on the European Union
Politico notes that Trump’s victory is likely to have an impact on the European Union. One area that may undergo changes is the pricing of medications and the development of green technologies. In the EU, experts believe there could be pressure in the field of innovation, as the U.S. may set its own standards for artificial intelligence that do not align with EU norms.
Strategy in the Indo-Pacific region: strengthening opposition to China
The Independent writes that Trump is likely to continue his policy of containing Chinese influence in the Indo-Pacific region, which he initiated during his first presidency. This includes strengthening alliances with key countries in the region such as Japan, South Korea, India, and Australia. This approach is aimed at reducing China’s influence in strategically important waters and trade routes.
Is the world ready for Trump’s second presidency?
Donald Trump’s return to the U.S. presidency will result in a series of changes in foreign policy that could affect the international order. His strategic plans regarding Ukraine, Europe, and the Indo-Pacific region are aimed at strengthening the U.S.’s position on the global stage and reducing the influence of countries such as China and Russia.
