What does Trump 2.0 mean for US foreign policy?

Experts say Trump is likely to harden approach to Ukraine and China and infuse more unpredictability in the Middle East.
Donald Trump‘s win in Tuesday’s presidential election comes on back of a heated United States election campaign dominated by his trademark incendiary rhetoric — and it is expected to leave much of the world on edge.
The Associated Press called the election in the former president’s favour on Wednesday morning, marking a return to office for Trump, four years after he was defeated by current President Joe Biden.
On the campaign trail this time around, Trump promised to tackle a range of domestic issues, including immigration and inflation.
He also signalled a return to his “America First” foreign policy, indicating a turn towards greater isolationism and less international collaboration.
But that did not preclude Trump from making grandiose claims of being able to end Russia’s war against Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office, bringing peace to the Middle East, and exerting dominance over China, one of the US’s largest geopolitical rivals.
