Middle East on alert: How Trump could reshape regional trade, economy, and energy
Experts predict a return to ‘America First’ policies with potential impacts on U.S.-China trade tensions and Middle Eastern economies
What would another Trump presidency mean for MENA?
As Americans head to the polls, the world — and especially the Middle East — is watching closely to see if Donald Trump will secure a second term.
If elected, Trump is expected to revive his 'America First' policies, which could bring an isolationist tilt to U.S. foreign policy and escalate trade tensions with China.
For the Middle East, a Trump presidency could mean both economic opportunities and risks. His push for U.S. energy independence could stabilize oil prices, benefiting exporters, while his close ties with Gulf states may lead to deeper economic partnerships. However, reduced U.S. security commitments might introduce uncertainty, leaving a potential opening for rivals like China and Russia.
