When Donald Trump took the oath of office as President in January 2017, his first foreign policy priority was to get tough on China. The Trump 2.0 Administration will continue that work. But when he strides back into the Oval Office on Jan. 20, Trump will also become responsible for U.S. management of two dangerous wars, the kinds of hot foreign policy crises he was fortunate to avoid during his first term.
Trump has presented himself to voters as a peacemaker, the leader who will cut the deals necessary to restore order and limit the cost of U.S. involvement in foreign wars (and potential wars) for the American taxpayer. The new President is already taking credit for the ceasefire that Israel and Hamas have agreed, which is due to start from Sunday.
In addition to the war in Gaza, Trump’s election has set expectations for how he’ll approach Israel’s confrontations with Hezbollah, and perhaps Iran, as well as Russia’s war on Ukraine. What should we expect in 2025?
