Donald Trump’s landslide win on Tuesday has momentarily quieted his critics — but not for long. The president-elect now stands poised to reshape America and beyond. The New York Post took a look at ten key initiatives Trump might pursue to clean up what he calls the “Biden-Harris chaos” and bring the peace his campaign promised.
Ukraine: Peace Talks and Land Compromises
Trump aims to negotiate a settlement in Ukraine, likely requiring land concessions. While unpopular, it’s a move aimed at halting further loss of young lives. In exchange, Trump plans to warn Putin against future invasions and election interference in Eastern Europe.
China: Renewing Trade Battles
Trump’s trade war with China is back on the table. However, he might offer economic incentives if China severs ties with adversarial nations like Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Only America, he argues, can push China to pivot away from Russia.
Taiwan: A Clear Warning
Trump has one message for China regarding Taiwan: “Don’t even think about it.” His stance promises zero tolerance for aggression in the region.
Qatar: Targeting Terror Support
Trump’s stance on Qatar is tough. He wants to end Qatar’s support for terrorist organizations, isolating and sanctioning the Gulf state if necessary. Trump suggests relocating the U.S. military base from Qatar to an ally like the United Arab Emirates.
Britain: Reviving a Trade Partnership
Trump aims to revive a shelved trade deal with the UK, sidelined under Biden. He hopes to bring Britain back as a strong economic partner — if the UK’s left-leaning leaders don’t get in the way.
NATO: Strengthening Commitments
Trump is determined to boost NATO by ensuring all member countries meet their defense commitments. He plans to bolster NATO’s deterrent power, taking credit for a stronger alliance.
Turkey: A Hard Line on Hamas
Turkey’s NATO membership and its hosting of Hamas are at odds. Trump intends to push Erdogan to choose: support Hamas or stay with NATO, but not both.
Saudi Arabia: Expanding the Abraham Accords
With Saudi Arabia considering joining the Abraham Accords, Trump aims to secure this major diplomatic win. He sees this as the next step toward Middle East peace, following his previous achievements.
Israel: Reinforcing the Alliance
Trump pledges unwavering support for Israel as it battles Hamas and Hezbollah. He demands the release of all hostages held by these groups, a move he expects to be backed by regional allies.
Iran: Reimposing Sanctions
Trump’s top priority in the Middle East is to reinstate sanctions on Iran, reversing what he sees as Biden’s leniency. His goal: end Iran’s nuclear ambitions and destabilize the regime to foster change in Tehran.
With a sweeping mandate, Trump looks set to reshape the international landscape — and he may be eyeing the Nobel Committee’s attention along the way.
