Under President Donald Trump, American foreign and security policy has differed substantially from previous administrations. Some observers believe the policy will by and large remain unaltered if Trump wins a second term, whereas others predict he will change tack if he no longer has to think about re-election. A Joe Biden presidency, on the other hand, would likely bring back some familiar elements from the pre-Trump era. Nevertheless, a Biden administration would be conducting foreign and security policy in an entirely different global landscape than any of Trump’s predecessors, facing new challenges such as the global pandemic and the rivalry with China. What would American foreign and security policy look like during Trump’s second term or Biden’s first? How would their approaches differ and what similarities might there be?
