Washington: US President-elect Donald Trump is unlikely to resolve the conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East, Gareth Jenkins, a nonresident senior research fellow with the Joint Center Silk Road Studies Program and Turkey Center at the Institute for Security and Development Policy in Stockholm.

“I don’t think that Trump will be able to solve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in one day. Ultimately, any resolution of the conflict can only come from Russia and Ukraine themselves. However, it does look as if Trump is likely to reduce US aid to Ukraine. He may not cut it completely. But he is likely to be less supportive than the Biden administration has been,” Jenkins said.

When asked about the war raging in the Middle East, the expert noted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was pleased with Trump’s reelection as his relations with the Biden administration were often very strained, whereas Trump moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem during his first term.

“But resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict would require patience and subtlety. These are not qualities for which Trump is known,” Jenkins added.

A presidential election took place in the United States on November 5. Republican candidate Donald Trump, who served as the US president from 2017-2021, was declared the winner by all leading race callers and networks, namely the Associated Press, Decision Desk HQ, Fox News, and CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS from the National Election Pool consortium, as he secured enough votes in the Electoral College to win the election. Democratic candidate Kamala Harris conceded defeat in an address to her supporters, and US President Joe Biden congratulated Trump.

The Electoral College, the group of presidential electors from the states, will vote for the candidate whom each state’s voters have chosen on December 17, and the results will be approved by Congress on January 6. The presidential inauguration will take place on January 20.

Trump became the first US president since the 19th century to be elected to non-consecutive terms.
