How Trump's Midterm Loss Could Reshape US Foreign Policy from Iran to India
Democrats swept both the House and Senate in Tuesday's US midterm elections, weakening President Donald Trump's domestic position and prompting governments worldwide to reassess American foreign policy. The shift in congressional power could reshape Washington's approach to conflicts and alliances globally. Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said the results would not change US hostility toward Tehran, warning against concessions. Israel faces uncertainty over Trump's Iran strategy and increased Democratic scrutiny of military assistance. India may face renewed pressure for a trade deal as Trump seeks quick wins, while Canada sees leverage in negotiations. European allies hope Democrats will check Trump's policies on Ukraine and Russia, though he retains executive authority over deployments. South Korea expects more complex diplomacy between the White House and Congress. China described the elections as an internal matter, emphasizing continuity in bilateral relations.
