If a second Donald Trump presidency looks anything like the first, the United States will be in for a general foreign policy improvement.

President Joe Biden’s foreign policy legacy is largely one of failure. Failure to conclude the war in Afghanistan with honour; failure to deter Russian aggression against Ukraine; failure to contain Iran’s nuclear program and its global campaign of antisemitic attacks on Jews and their homeland; and failure to strengthen the U.S. military to meet modern threats, with recruitment target shortfalls and a dangerously shrinking navy.
