U.S News Donald Trump's return to the White House - fear over...

Donald Trump's return to the White House will have a significant impact on world politics in a number of different areas.​

Russia: Given his hesitation about overseas expenditure, Trump's prior openness to Russia may work in Moscow's favor. This connection is complicated by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, though, since it is uncertain if Trump will cut U.S. funding to Ukraine—a move that Moscow may support but the U.S. Congress may oppose. Although it's unclear how much power Trump would have, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev pointed to Trump's reluctance to "spend on allies" as a potential Russian advantage.

Annalena Baerbock, Germany's foreign minister, has underlined Germany's unwavering dedication to U.S. relations, despite potential political disagreements.

China: Aware of Trump's unpredictable nature and possible trade problems, China is taking a cautious approach to his return. Trump's "America First" policy may result in less U.S. pressure on China, according to Chinese officials, but Beijing may find it difficult to deal with his unpredictable nature, combined with a more assertive posture on Taiwan and trade tariffs. American journalists working in China are particularly worried because Trump's prior measures drastically cut down on their numbers.
Taiwan: Trump's insistence that Taiwan increase its defense spending raises concerns about potential financial difficulties. Taiwan's leaders are cautiously optimistic about preserving a strong relationship with the United States, given the ongoing threat of Chinese aggression.
