Foreign Policy

With the U.S. no longer the world’s sole hegemon, how will the next president manage the shifting global order? Experts from around the world have written their advice for the next White House—and the American people—in FP’s latest print issue. Read it here:

Lula and Trump are on opposite ends of the political spectrum—but U.S.-Brazil ties aren’t doomed if the Republican nominee wins, writes Andre Pagliarini.

The United States’ unrestricted campaign cycle enables what feels like a perpetual presidential election, but many countries around the world have regulations restricting the campaign period. In Mexico, which held general elections in June, there is only a 90-day window for official campaigns. https://lnkd.in/e3V2ahru

It's America's election, but it matters for the whole world. FP Live is usually a weekly show, but we dropped five episodes in five days last week, analyzing how candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris differ on foreign policy. I spoke with ten regional experts across these five programs: On the Middle East, Steven Cook and Sanam Vakil; On Europe, Nathalie Tocci and Mark Leonard; on Asia, Hass, Ryan and Lynn Kuok, PhD; on Africa, Martin Kimani and Zainab Usman, Ph.D.; and on Latin America, Catherine Osborn and Moises Naim. You can watch all of them for free here: (https://lnkd.in/dhg_X_JU) Or follow the podcasts on the link below. Some takeaways: Europe and rich countries like Japan and South Korea prefer Harris over Trump because they prize stability in their key alliances. Countries that want to erode U.S. power, like Russia and China, likely prefer Trump. Swing states in many parts of the world, especially in Africa and Asia, don't mind a transactional Trump foreign policy, because they're tired of an America that wags a finger at it about human rights and democracy while leaving Afghanistan high and dry. On some areas, like the Middle East, there actually isn't that much difference between what we know about Trump and Harris. And in Latin America, there is fear especially about mass deportations.
