How US presidential election could impact global political landscape
kamala harris and donald trump
As US elections are just around the corner, the tight race between Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump is getting even more intense.
As far as global politics isconcerned, whoever wins between Trump and Harrisis going to bring some differences in world dynamics.
Impact on NATO
If Trump gets elected, NATO cannot expect much support from the US government then, as the Democratic nominee has made it clearthat he will not support those countries that spend less than 2 per cent of their GDP on defence.
However, if Kamala Harris wins, NATO gets full support from the US but not so easily if the senate and the congress – house of representatives – both fall into the hands of the Republicans.

West Asia crisis
The Democratic candidate has been repeatedly affirming Biden's support for Israel's “right to defend itself.” However, she has also stressed that "the killing of innocent Palestinians has to stop."
Meanwhile, Trump has also emphasised that it's time to get back to peace and stop killing people. He has also reportedly told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “do what you have to do", which clearly gives Netanyahu a free hand to pursue what he wants.

Impact on Russia-Ukraine war
On the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Trump has never stepped back on reiterating his admiration for strongmen like Russian President Vladimir Putin. He has made it clear that he wants the war to end, assuring support from the US government in terms of military and finances. “I’ll get out. We got to get out,” he said in a recent rally.
Meanwhile, Democratic nominee Harris has clearly said that she is proud to stand with Ukraine. "I will continue to stand with Ukraine. And I will work to ensure Ukraine prevails in this war," she said.
