Your guide is what 2024 US elections mean for Washington and the World

Donald Trump began his second term as predicted: with an integration with executive orders, memo, promises, contempt and super hot rhetorical. The world has at least one year to prepare yourself for the return of America’s first agenda in the White House. Nothing can say that they are shocked at this approach, or in most Trump’s initiatives – radical and share as few of them. However, his full release of animal spirits in American capitalism scares some traditional allies. Today the world needs to decide how to answer the whirlwind seems to be set together, if not encapsulates, Trump’s second administration.

America, too, have a lot of questions to answer. Most of the opening days of the new Trump’s new presidency are on issues that ensure his choice again, especially immigration and cutting of what his supporters are called “deepest condition“, Or known as the federal government. He was right to take care of voters’ concerns that sent him Back to Oval Office. But how can Americans respond if, like fear of his opponents, he focuses on his baser instincts and begins to destroy the pillars of democracy?

There is a simple answer to two questions: values ​​in addition to interests. Trump’s withdrawal from Paris Climate Agree cannot, for example, be an excuse for the EU to slow down his decarbonization agenda; This is necessary, however, lighten the burdens of regulation and simplify its rules.

In the domestic front, too, now is the time to choose the right fights. US courts should be prepared for a Royal Battle of Trump’s more controversial initiatives, such as his desire to end the right to the birthright, attached to the 14th constitutional change.

Trump’s opening foray highlights a widespread feeling that a period has been over. It meets a tired response from America’s allies, looking at it intensifying multilateral order threats. But it’s important to note that many other places in the world are watching the Trump more favorable and liked the idea of ​​a more inward-looking america. Possible, too, that some of his initiatives have good results. It takes more than Trump’s threat to more rigid Russian sanctions to bring Vladimir Putin to the table to negotiate with a fair agreement with Ukraine’s peace. But President’s frank – and unexpected – Warning this week is a step in the right direction, as well as a reminder of how he looks unpredictable as an asset.

In wider, allies should be accepted that some of Trump’s prescriptions can prove to be a necessary call to action. As in his final term he prompted our members to spend more on defense, this time his support for a small regulation and bureaucracy and lower taxes forcing the EU Problem with competition on the continent.

It’s early days. The fact that Trump didn’t start a new trader’s war With the China or Europe does not mean that no one will happen next week. Whatever happens, it’s time for cold heads. Anwar Ibrahim, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, told the Financial Times this week that he and other eastern Asian leaders think that, after an initial stage of chaos, the global trade system can live uninterrupted. We hope he is right.

Trump is now in height in his powerControlling the two houses of Congress, with a conservative majority in the Supreme Court and the following air in the re-election. At home and abroad, it is important to ignore the more performing elements of his agenda, to accept that he is sometimes right, but above all stands for what is important. The political capital of the second term can rapidly disappear – if acceleration and nakedness prevails.
