The latest election results in the U.S. may indeed mark a new era for the world. President-elect Donald Trump’s economic policies are likely to take center stage in his second term. Trump seems very likely to pursue the plans he promised during his campaign, including higher import tariffs and a major crackdown on illegal immigration. Accordingly, scenarios in which inflation may rise, and economic growth may weaken come to the fore. Policies toward economic growth, employment, and macro-financial stability, as well as more domestic incentives for high technology and manufacturing, are also anticipated.

President Biden’s final UN speech of his political career coincides with perhaps the least effective period in American diplomacy. Since October 7, the Biden administration has stood by as Israel’s actions have severely damaged American diplomatic credibility in the eyes of the “international community.”
In the U.S. presidential elections, while the economy stands out as the most important issue influencing voters, the importance of immigration has been on the rise in recent years. The record number of crossings at the Mexican border in 2023 made this issue one of the country's top priorities. Republican criticism of the Biden administration's so-called 'open border policy' has been quite effective. Actions taken by Republican-led states like Texas and Florida, such as sending migrants to Democratic states like New York and Massachusetts via buses and planes, kept the issue in the spotlight. As many small towns struggled with strained municipal services and budgets due to the influx of new migrant populations, immigration and the border crisis became key topics in the presidential elections.
The United States will go to the elections on Nov. 5, and many internal and external observers for weeks have been discussing the political positions and discourses of the two candidates, Donald Trump representing the Republicans and Kamala Harris representing the Democrats. While discussing the possibilities, observers have been taking many personal, national and international parameters into consideration. Surely, the Nov. 5 elections will certainly be a very interesting one. Although the presidential race is an internal affair of the U.S., all governments around the world will closely watch the presidential elections wondering who will become the next president of the U.S. since it is still considered the most powerful state and hegemon of the world.
