How might the midterms affect US foreign policy?
Until now the president has enjoyed support from Republican majorities in the House and the Senate, but if that changes next month what does it mean for the rest of the world?
The foreign policy of the second Trump administration has caused consternation to allies from Denmark to Korea. What had seemed solid and settled in the post-war world has been thrown into turmoil.
Until now the President has enjoyed support from Republican majorities in both Houses of Congress, but next month's midterm elections seem likely to change all that. The Democrats look to be headed for victory. But the question for the rest of the world is what will it mean for us? A tamed president? An enraged president? And how will America鈥檚 enemies and allies react?
