He warned that he would not defend any country that did not pay its share to NATO and would encourage Moscow to do whatever it wanted with that country.

Finally, Joe Biden, considered by some to be the cause of all the suffering and turmoil in Afghanistan, has withdrawn from the US presidential election and is said to have endorsed his deputy, Kamala Harris, for the presidency against Trump.
There is no doubt that Ms. Harris could become an important challenger to Donald Trump. I think Trump will win the next presidential election.
But what message will Donald Trump's victory send to the world?
Former US President Donald Trump could be re-elected in November's presidential elections. Ms. Haris may be neck-and-neck with Mr. Trump, but there are still problems with the forecasts occasionally.
Whoever wins the election, most likely Donald Trump will have a political, economic, and cultural impact on millions of people outside the United States.
Now let's get back to the main topics:
1 - Will Trump continue to support Ukraine?
Donald Trump has long criticized billions of dollars in US military aid to Ukraine following the Russian invasion in 2022.
Trump, who has publicly praised Russian President Vladimir Putin during his presidency, has promised to end the war within 24 hours if he wins the election.
As we all know, the bill providing for $60 billion in military aid to Kyiv was frozen for several months by Trump's Republican supporters in the US Congress. However, when the bill was finally passed in April, Trump did not respond much.
I think Trump's messages may have already had an effect because Putin is likely to act more freely given the possibility of a Trump victory.
2 - Will Trump withdraw the US from NATO?
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), a military alliance of 32 countries including the US, UK, Germany, and France, is one issue with which Trump has a fundamental problem.
When Trump was president, he frequently threatened to pull the United States out of the alliance unless other NATO members adhered to an agreed-upon goal of spending 2 percent of their gross domestic product on defense spending.
Trump also warned that he would not defend any country that did not pay its share of NATO and would encourage Moscow to do whatever it wanted with that country.
3 - Trump promises mass deportations if he wins.
Trump's presidency has been known for its hard-line immigration policies, and he has vowed to go further than in his previous term if he returns to the White House.
Trump is likely to launch the largest deportation operation in American history on the first day of his presidency.
Last year he said he would expand previously controversial travel bans on citizens of several predominantly Muslim countries.
In addition to trying to deport millions of illegal immigrants, many of whom have lived in the United States for decades, Trump also plans to reduce legal immigration to the United States.
4 - Will Trump continue to support Israel?
Trump has been an outspoken supporter of the Israeli regime and its right-wing government during his presidency. He announced that the United States would recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the Israeli regime and reversed decades of official US policy to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Both decisions, which Biden did not reverse, were seen by Palestinians as taking sides in the sensitive and controversial issue of the status of Jerusalem.
Trump continues to emphasize his support for Israel and believes Israel should stop the operation it launched against Hamas.
5 - Will Trump increase pressure on China?
Trump launched a bitter trade war with China during his presidency, saying he would impose tariffs of more than 60 percent on Chinese goods if re-elected.
Trump also said he would halt all future purchases from China for use in U.S. infrastructure in critical sectors such as energy and telecommunications.
With tensions rising in the South China Sea and disputes over Taiwan, some in his inner circle want US security policy to be more focused on China.
The conservative politician is part of a group of Republicans who want Washington to make Beijing its top foreign policy priority.
6 - About Afghanistan.
After Donald Trump wins, financial aid to Afghanistan will be cut and the current Taliban regime will be forced to comply with the terms of the Doha agreement, so the Taliban will be forced to accept the terms of the Doha agreement unconditionally.
