These countries have the most at stake as the U.S. heads to the polls

Ambassador Mitchell B. Reiss, distinguished fellow at the Royal United Services Institute think tank, commented Monday that a Harris administration would not deviate too much from its current course. “We do not know her world view, her policy preferences, even her choices for senior Cabinet positions. My best guess is that President Harris would largely continue Joe Biden’s foreign policy, prioritising good relationships with allies and friends, and placing a heavy emphasis on diplomacy,” Reiss said. “What would a second Trump term look like? Here, we have a better idea. We already know that Trump views the world more in personal and transactional terms than in strategic terms. He is skeptical about U.S. commitments to allies and sending U.S. troops overseas — he is not committed in the same way that previous presidents have been to the traditional role the U.S. has played in constructing and leading the liberal international order that has brought us so much peace and prosperity since WW2,” Reiss noted.
