- What is the outlook for UK-US relations under a Harris presidency?
- A Harris presidency would likely maintain strong support for NATO, continue aid to Ukraine, and avoid a trade war with China, all of which would benefit the UK. However, a trade deal with the US remains uncertain.
- What would be the likely impact of a Trump presidency on NATO and the UK?
- A Trump presidency would likely see increased pressure on NATO allies to increase defense spending, potentially strained relations with Russia, and a possible trade war with China, negatively impacting the UK economy.
- How might a Trump presidency affect relations with Russia and the Middle East?
- Trump's unpredictable relationship with Vladimir Putin and potential concessions to Russia in Ukraine could fracture the Europe-US relationship, while his approach to Middle East peace could be both significant and unpredictable.
- What are the potential economic consequences for the UK of a Trump presidency?
- A Trump presidency may not prioritize a UK-US trade deal due to past statements, and the imposition of tariffs on imports could severely harm the UK's largest export market.
- How do the potential outcomes of the US election compare in terms of their implications for the UK?
- While both a Trump and a Harris presidency would have implications for the UK, a Harris administration would likely offer more stability in terms of foreign policy and international relations.
