Kamala Harris as president: What could change for the Middle East?
Experts foresee continuity with Biden’s foreign policy, but subtle shifts could pressure nations like the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
What could a Kamala Harris presidency mean for the Middle East?
The U.S. presidential election is here, and voters nationwide are deciding between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in a race that could redefine America’s role on the global stage.
While experts anticipate continuity in foreign policy, subtle shifts could emerge. Harris is likely to uphold Biden’s approach, focusing on proxy conflicts and challenging powers like Russia, Iran, and China.
Her leadership could see Middle Eastern nations — such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia — pressured to pick sides, balancing their relations with both the U.S. and China. With a strong Silicon Valley connection, Harris may drive tech and energy collaboration, positioning the Middle East as a future hub for innovation and resilience.
