The foreign policy stakes in this election are the highest of the Cold War era
Even more than is usual, this U.S. presidential election has the entire world on edge. The result will either be a return to the “America First” foreign policy that Republican nominee Donald Trump preached during his first term, or the adoption of an entirely new approach to international relations under an untested Democratic nominee in Kamala Harris.
Despite her nearly four years as Vice-President, during which she regularly participated in Situation Room debates, Ms. Harris had little influence over U.S. foreign policy. With decades of international experience under his belt, President Joe Biden has not relied on Ms. Harris for foreign policy advice the way former president Barack Obama counted on Mr. Biden when he served as his vice-president.
Or threaten the sovereignty of U.S. allies in the Indo-Pacific. Ms. Harris has refrained from vowing to defend Taiwan if China invaded it. “I’m not going to get into hypotheticals,” she told herinterviewer, breaking with Mr. Biden’s repeated pledges to come to Taiwan’s aid in the event of Chinese aggression. Chinese President Xi Jinping may see Ms. Harris as more malleable than Mr. Biden.
