Trump's erratic foreign policy to meet 'a world on fire'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : But just as before, Trump has presented a mixed message, describing Chinese President Xi Jinping as "brilliant" for ruling with an "iron fist".
59% : Still, Trump is likely to push for historic normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, an effort initiated during his first term and which Biden has also pursued.
52% : When Trump was last in the White House, he presided over the signing of the Abraham Accords between Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
51% : Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy congratulated Trump on social network X, describing Trump's peace-through-strength approach as a "principle that can practically bring just peace in Ukraine closer".
48% : Trump may give Netanyahu a freer hand with Iran.
48% : Trump has been quiet about whom he might appoint but sources with knowledge of the matter say Robert O'Brien, his final national security adviser, is likely to play a significant role.
48% : Trump is expected to install loyalists in key positions in the Pentagon, State Department and CIA whose primary allegiance would be to him, current and former aides and diplomats told Reuters.
45% : ENDING THE UKRAINE WARHow Trump responds to Russia´s war in Ukraine could set the tone for his agenda and signal how he will deal with NATO and key U.S. allies, after Biden worked to rebuild key relationships that frayed under his predecessor.
43% : The result, they say, would enable Trump to make sweeping changes to policy as well as to federal institutions that implement - and sometimes constrain - presidential actions abroad.
42% : Another unknown is how Trump will craft his national security team, though many critics believe he will avoid bringing in mainstream Republicans who sometimes acted as "guardrails" in his first term.
35% : Now that Trump has claimed victory, many at home and abroad are asking an urgent question: will he make good on his long list of foreign policy threats, promises and pronouncements?
33% : Trump insisted last year that Russian President Vladimir Putin never would have invaded Ukraine in 2022 if he had been in the White House, adding that "even now I could solve that in 24 hours".
29% : Trump, who has railed for years against NATO members that failed to meet agreed military spending targets, warned during the campaign that he would not only refuse to defend nations "delinquent" on funding but would encourage Russia "to do whatever the hell they want" to them.
29% : Trump is expected to continue arming Israel, whose existence he said would have been endangered if Harris had been elected - a claim dismissed by the Biden administration given its staunch support for Israel.
28% : Trump has also insisted that Taiwan should pay the U.S. for defense.
27% : But Trump could face a new crisis if Iran, which has stepped up nuclear activities since he abandoned a nuclear deal with Tehran in 2018, rushes to develop a nuclear weapon.
