Donald Trump has made a historic return to the White House after winning the 2024 election, overcoming not only a four-year absence but also serious legal issues.
Trump was faced with charges for allegedly encouraging the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and has been convicted of falsifying business records, making him the first president with a felony conviction.
But despite all these challenges, Trump’s win marks a major shift in U.S. politics and could lead to big changes in global relationships.
Trump secured key swing states like North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, helping him reach the necessary 270 electoral votes to defeat his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.
This victory in battleground states, some of which he lost in 2020, helped solidify his return to the presidency.
Trump’s campaign was marked by bold, often harsh language, which energized his supporters who see him as someone willing to fight the political establishment.
But his style also deepened the divide among Americans, making him one of the country’s most polarizing figures.
With Trump back in the White House, other countries may have to rethink their approach to the U.S. Under his leadership, changes in defense, security, and foreign policy could impact global allies.
Like UK, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer may have to adjust his policies as the new American administration takes a different stance on key issues.
Trump’s 2024 victory isn’t just a win for his supporters: it’s a turning point in both American and world politics. As leaders around the globe watch, Trump’s second term will shape the future for the U.S. and its relationships with countries everywhere.
