Donald Trump’s upcoming presidency could have significant consequences for Ukraine and the Middle East. In the Ukrainian conflict, his well-known rapport with Vladimir Putin raises questions about the future of US military support. Trump has openly questioned the continuation of aid to Ukraine, which could weaken Ukrainian resistance and strengthen Russia’s position in Eastern Europe. In the Middle East, Trump’s unconditional support for Israel during his first presidency indicates a likely escalation of support in the ongoing Gaza war. This could further destabilise the region, reducing the possibilities for mediation and exacerbating tensions with Arab countries.
