What will a lame-duck Donald Trump get up to overseas?
Embattled at home, the president will look abroad. That is worrying for the world, but it is not clear what he can achieve—for good or ill
In his final two years as president, Donald Trump will be involved in numerous foreign policy initiatives, many of which are contentious and fraught with complications. The former president has been actively pursuing radical and hyperactive policies in regions such as Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, and Greenland. He has also engaged in diplomatic efforts with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, which could potentially destabilize global power dynamics and pose challenges for Ukraine.
Additionally, Trump's flirtation with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un may affect American nuclear policy. As artificial intelligence advances towards artificial general intelligence, diplomatic and national security challenges will become increasingly complex, necessitating Trump's management. The chaotic and unpredictable nature of Trump's overseas adventures is not unique; presidents typically become more active in foreign affairs during the last two years of their second term, as evidenced by data on presidential travel records.
