"Global Readiness: The Impending Impact of Trump's Return"

Countries around the world are cautiously preparing for the possibility of Donald Trump's return to the White House, with some seeking to understand his foreign policy plans and others expressing concerns about his America First rhetoric and protectionist trade policies. While some US allies are worried about the potential impact on security, trade, and climate action, nations in the Global South see opportunities in Trump's more transactional approach. European governments are particularly anxious about the potential impact on Russian relations, the Ukraine war, and the future of NATO, with some seeking to establish personal ties with Trump's representatives to better understand what to expect.
