Former President Trump cannot serve three terms as president under the U.S. Constitution, so his term in office will be four years, making it impossible to serve consecutive terms.
So with just four years given, Trump returns to the White House and pushes for his first term in office. It is expected to expedite the unfinished "America First" policy.
In the future, the U.S. diplomatic stance after World War I, which has intervened in international disputes by claiming to be the world's police and the leader of liberal democracy, is likely to face a major shift over the next four years.
First of all, Ukraine, which has drawn the war against Russia for two years and nine months with enormous support from the Biden administration in the United States, is expected to continue the war or stop it in the future.
The U.S. alliance-oriented stance in the liberal democratic camp, which has continued to the Biden administration, is also expected to change to a deal-oriented relationship when the second term of former President Trump's presidency is launched.
The South Korea-U.S. alliance, where 28,500 U.S. troops in South Korea have played an important role under the South Korea-U.S. Mutual Defense Treaty, is also likely to be embroiled in a turmoil over former President Trump's demand for a large increase in defense contributions.
As for North Korea, former President Trump, who held three summits with Chairman Kim Jong-un in his first term in office, is likely to engage in bold top-down diplomacy with North Korea, bringing about a change in the situation on the Korean Peninsula.
In terms of trade, former President Trump has pledged to seek to rebuild the U.S. domestic manufacturing base by significantly strengthening his protectionist stance, which uses expanded tariffs as a weapon.
If this is carried out in earnest after entering the White House, there will be a lot of rupture with South Korea and the European Union, which have signed FTAs with the United States.
In terms of border security, the second term of Trump's administration is expected to carry out large-scale deportations of illegal immigrants and pledges to close the southern border.
In addition, the Biden administration's enhanced climate crisis response policy is also likely to sharply weaken its momentum along with former President Trump's massive implementation of fossil energy development pledges.
Along with the presidential election, the House and Senate elections were held, and the Republican Party took away the Democratic district and became the majority.
So far, Republicans have won the Senate majority for the first time in four years, with victories in Nebraska, West Virginia and Ohio.
Both the White House and the House could not rule out the possibility of Republicans taking it.
There are also observations that if this happens, Trump will have unwavering power.
