Trump has often touted an "isolationist" stance throughout his political career, with his "America First" mantra suggesting a reduction in US military engagements abroad. This could mean less support for Ukraine against Russian aggression, potentially weakening Ukraine's resistance to Vladimir Putin's forces.
Moreover, Trump has indicated a preference for the world's authoritarian leaders, including Putin, mirroring their strongman image and asserting that he will not allow other nations to belittle the US.
On the trade front, policies are set to be revisited, though immediate changes for the UK are unlikely no free trade agreement was reached under the previous administration either. Trump has advocated for tariffs on imports to shield American businesses from cheaper Chinese goods and has also threatened significant tariffs on Mexican imports.
Immigration has emerged as a pivotal issue in the presidential election, with refugees and undocumented migrants from across the globe being labelled as "invaders" who need to be "rounded up" and deported. This stance could have far-reaching implications for regions such as the Middle East and Central America.
Meanwhile, Democratic rivals are sounding alarms over other aspects of American life, notably women's reproductive health and rightsa perennial flashpoint between conservatives and liberals. In some states, voters were deciding on ballot measures related to abortion rights.
There's also growing unease about potential shifts in the fabric of the world's largest democracy. Trump and his allies have hinted at repercussions for those who have stood against him during his tenure, targeting everyone from political adversaries to people in the legal system.
