How Will Trump’s Return Shape The World?

U.S. Presidential Election

The global landscape is constantly shifting, and the re-election of Donald Trump as U.S. president for a second term signals potential new challenges, as he joins the ranks of prominent right-wing leaders shaping today’s political arena

How that the results of 2024’s most anticipated election are clear, what kind of world is likely to emerge? Will geopolitical tensions increase or decrease? How will continued polarisation in the U.S. shape domestic politics and international relations?

Many analyses will follow Trump’s victory, examining his decisions and their impact on both the U.S. and the world. We spoke with experts to get their initial thoughts on what the new Trump era might look like.
