- Do you share it?
- The left should analyze Trump's victory to understand its implications for their own ideologies while maintaining a consistent, non-ideological foreign policy that prioritizes state relations.
- What lessons can the local left learn from Trump's triumph?
- Trump's history of distancing the US from multilateral organizations could potentially impact Michelle Bachelet's candidacy for UN Secretary-General, although other factors are also at play.
- Part of that polarization in recent years has also been spearheaded by him.
- The election victory of Trump, despite the high level of polarization, suggests a desire for reconciliation and an end to divisive politics, although this remains to be seen.
- Before the elections, you mentioned that these were elections that would define a kind of identity of democracy. Knowing Trump's triumph, how do you interpret the democratic identity that the US chose?
- The US election results show a preference for a strong presidency, leading to a potential shift in the country's institutional and political landscape, both domestically and internationally.
- Trump has had an anti-migration rhetoric and this year we saw how "delinquent tourism" splashed Chilean criminals in the US. Elon Musk, close to Trump in this campaign, said that measures had to be taken. In that context, isn't the Visa Waiver at risk?
- While Trump's anti-immigration stance might raise concerns, the existing cooperation between Chile and the US on information sharing regarding travelers seems unlikely to be significantly affected, as it benefits both nations.
