Donald Trump’s victory comes in a world that is different from that of 2016. It is more fractured and dangerous. In this context, the European Union, divided and weakened, risks becoming Trump's first casualty.

What will Donald Trump's foreign policy be in his second term? There is no manual for it, but there are a few clues to understand. This isn't a typical democratic shift: Nothing will be the same, and there will be no guardrails like during his first term.

The election of Donald Trump has begun affecting global dynamics. In Ukraine, Zelensky fears losing U.S. support and has warned Europe against "suicidal" concessions to Russia. In Israel, Netanyahu stands as the main beneficiary, as Trump's victory grants him the freedom to pursue his objectives unfettered.

Having played a precious though ultimately futile role as mediator, Qatar announced it will step back from Gaza talks as both sides remain uninterested in a ceasefire. And following Trump's election victory, there's a notable new appointment to represent Israel in Washington.

The first appointments of Donald Trump's upcoming administration signal a firm stance on divisive issues like immigration, but the influence of figures like Elon Musk remains uncertain. An analysis of early steps and their implications.

China has become Latin America's leading partner, under the nose of the United States, which is busy elsewhere. Xi Jinping inaugurated a Chinese-built megaport in Peru, underscoring Beijing's growing influence in the region — and the looming showdown with the future Trump administration.

The U.S. has finally allowed Ukraine to strike Russian territory with long-range missiles following massive Ukrainian bombings of power infrastructure. Though only two months remain for the Biden administration before the uncertainty of the Trump era begins, the terms of any future negotiations are being fought over now.

The United Nations suffers from a lack of effectiveness and declining legitimacy due to a failure to reform. The G20 remains the last forum where opposing powers can still talk to one another. But with the return of Donald Trump and his “America First” policy, what comes next is uncertain.

Russia is expanding its nuclear doctrine and intensifying strikes on Ukraine, including Thursday's unprecedented launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile. This is an apparent response to new U.S. authorization of use of its weapons in attacks on Russian territory. All can be traced to the radical White House transition underway.

The judges of the International Criminal Court (ICC) have issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He says it's an antisemitic move, and is backed by the U.S., but France and other EU countries have stated they will respect the warrant, meaning the Israeli leader is now unable to visit these regions.
