Once he believes it Congress Based on the election result on January 6, 2025, Trump and his next vice president, US Senator J.D. Vance, are scheduled to take office on Inauguration Day, scheduled for January 20.
Throughout his two-year presidential campaign, Trump had indicated that he would prioritize personal loyalty in appointing his administration.
He pledged to grant positions in his administration to the billionaire Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr., both ardent supporters.
Europe
It is already certain that the transatlantic relationship will change dramatically American electionsBut the question is whether this change will be earth-shattering during Trump’s second term?
The president spoke European CommissionUrsula von der Leyen, about Trump as soon as he won, saying: “The European Union and the United States are more than just allies. We are bound by a true partnership between our peoples, bringing together 800 million citizens.”
For his part, the German Chancellor offered Olaf Schulz Trump should continue the trusted partnership between Germany and the United States, but he also called for strengthening European cooperation.
“It is certain that many things will be different under a government led by him,” Schulz said Donald TrumpThis is what Trump has made clear publicly and constantly.”
Russia
Russian and American diplomats say that relations between the world’s two largest nuclear powers deteriorated to their lowest levels only during the most tense days of the Cold War.
Russian officials, led by Putin, said before the elections that whoever wins the US presidency will not make a difference for Moscow, despite government media coverage directed by the Kremlin showing a preference for Trump.
Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, said Trump’s victory could be an opportunity to repair relations.
Ukraine
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said that Donald Trump’s victory in the US elections might be bad news for Ukraine, adding that it is not yet clear to what extent Trump will reduce US funding for the war.
He added: “Trump has a useful trait for us. As a businessman to the core, he deeply abhors spending money on crooks, stupid allies, ineffective charitable projects, and greedy international organizations.”
China
China announced that it will deal with the United States on the basis of mutual respect, with Donald Trump declaring victory in the presidential elections.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said: “We will continue to view and deal with China-US relations in accordance with the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation.”
Israel
Trump’s victory represents a relief for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition, which has fallen out with the administration of current President Joe Biden over the wars in Gaza and Lebanon that have sparked protests around the world and made Israel increasingly isolated internationally.
Netanyahu and his supporters celebrated Donald Trump’s expected return to the presidency of the United States, and praised him as an ally who would support them “unconditionally.”
It is noteworthy that the first Trump administration achieved great gains for Netanyahu when it disagreed with most countries in the world and recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
A poll conducted by the Israel Democracy Institute showed that nearly two-thirds of Israelis believe that Trump would be better for Israel.
Palestine
The relationship between the Palestinians and the United States witnessed severe tension during Trump’s first term (2016-2020), especially after the closure of the Palestine Liberation Organization office in Washington and Trump’s approval of the decision to move the American embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
In a congratulatory message, Abbas expressed his “aspiration to work with President Trump for peace and security in the region,” adding, “We will remain steadfast in our commitment to peace, and we are confident that the United States will support, under your leadership, the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people.”
The Hamas movement said in a statement, “Our position on the new American administration depends on its positions and practical behavior toward our Palestinian people, their legitimate rights, and their just cause,” but called for an end to “blind bias” toward Israel.
Sami Abu Zuhri, a leader of the Hamas movement, said: “We call on Trump to benefit from President Joe Biden’s mistakes.”
Iran
Trump’s return to the White House has sparked concern in Iran, where the consequences of imposing “maximum pressure” and sanctions during his first term continue to weigh heavily on the daily lives of Iranians.
In May 2018, Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew his country from the agreement and reimposed severe sanctions on Tehran, especially on the oil and financial sectors.
In conjunction with this, Donald Trump’s first term was also marked by his issuance of the order in January 2020 to kill the powerful Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani, the architect of Iran’s regional influence strategy, during his visit to Iraq.
Washington and Tehran seemed on the verge of direct military confrontation. Legal proceedings have begun in Iran to prosecute Donald Trump on charges of carrying out this assassination.
Afghanistan
The Taliban government in Afghanistan expressed its hope for a “new chapter” in relations with the United States following Trump’s election for a new term, noting that he had signed a peace agreement with the Taliban during his first term as president.
In February 2020, the United States, during the presidency of Republican Trump, signed an agreement in Qatar that paved the way for the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan. The Taliban returned to power in Kabul following this withdrawal, which took place during the era of President Joe Biden.
Republicans continued to criticize the chaotic withdrawal of Americans from Afghanistan in 2021, which included, in particular, a suicide attack at Kabul airport that killed 13 American soldiers, and Trump exploited it in his campaign against US Vice President Kamala Harris.
