President-elect Donald Trump takes office in ten days, inheriting a far more complex and unstable international landscape than when he first entered the White House.
Global conflicts are intensifying, with Russia’s war in Ukraine nearing its third year, escalating competition with China across multiple domains, and mounting tensions in the Middle East. Israel is battling Iranian proxies, and Iran is edging closer to a nuclear weapon. Domestically, the U.S. faces challenges in modernizing its defense capabilities to address these threats.
Yet, there are areas of progress. Middle Eastern alliances have strengthened, with closer cooperation between the U.S., Israel, and Arab partners. In the Indo-Pacific, initiatives like AUKUS, the Quad, and stronger ties with Japan and South Korea bolster regional security. NATO is larger, more united, and better funded than ever.
At home, the U.S. economy remains a global leader, attracting innovation and entrepreneurship. Trump’s promise of “peace through strength” will now be tested as he navigates these challenges. Experts warn that conflicts in the Middle East, including Israel’s battles and Iran’s nuclear ambitions, could escalate. Other hotspots include Taiwan, Ukraine, and the southern U.S. border.
The Middle East remains particularly volatile. Daily missile threats from groups like the Houthis and the possibility of an Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities add to regional instability. Trump’s approach to these risks and how he uses U.S. strengths will shape America’s role in the world and define his legacy.
