War in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East… How do Kamala Harris and Donald Trump position themselves on these international political issues? Amy Greene, specialist in American politics, enlightens us on the probable consequences of this presidential election internationally.

According to Amy Greene, a specialist in American politics, “this election truly offers two visions of American politics” regarding the war in Ukraine. She explains that Kamala Harris “took a very hard line towards Russia” by refusing to meet Vladimir Putin and showing “his unwavering support for the Ukrainians”. And revenge, Donald Trump “perhaps feels closer to the Kremlin” with “a form of realignment under the banner of 'America First'”.

Amy Greene mentions that “US interests come first” for Donald Trump, which could translate into “the cession of territories by the Ukrainian state” to resolve the conflict.

On the conflict in the Middle East, the specialist emphasizes that “both candidates unwaveringly support Israel”a geostrategic and security priority going beyond the presidential election. However, she notes “slightly different approaches”. Kamala Harris recalled “that the suffering of Gazan civilians had to be taken into account”, while Donald Trump “cultivate this closeness with Benjamin Netanyahu” and mentioned that “the United States, under his presidency, would not accept Palestinian refugees”.

Although the candidates differ on certain issues, Amy Greene emphasizes that beyond this election, “the structuring dynamic of American policy on the international scene for the next 20, 30, 40 or 50 years is truly to manage the emergence or re-emergence of China”. This major issue should transcend the differences between the two candidates and lastingly shape United States foreign policy, whoever wins.
