Donald Trump will return to the White House having set out his foreign policy approach for the next four years.
US voters have chosen a leader who adheres to an “America first” principle, where US interests come first, and is expected to be more isolationist than the current president, Joe Biden.
While a second Trump presidency might be welcomed by some foreign leaders including Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán and India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, the same cannot be said about Chinese president Xi Jinping. For China, which has experienced deteriorating relations with the US since Trump’s first presidency, having a Trump administration back in the White House is not likely to be good news for Beijing.
