Donald J. Trump’s second term in office will officially start on January 20th. In an eventful and vocal campaign, he announced policies that could in many ways be more radical than those of his first term. He has championed tariff duties, questioned multilateralism, and advocated a withdrawal from the Paris agreement on climate change. His relationship with China and Russia will be scrutinized, especially as he may reconsider the support of the United States to Ukraine and their commitment.
Whereas some hope that the policies that he will implement will be more moderate than his programme, the people he has appointed to influential positions suggest the opposite.
His new term in office may therefore have wide consequences globally and in Europe. The Belgian authorities and Belgian firms could have to substantially adapt to the new context but are facing uncertainty.
