Americans are highly engaged in this year’s presidential election,
and they are not alone. The campaign has riveted people
across the globe. Just like at home, President Donald Trump has
garnered plenty of critics abroad for his xenophobia, denial of
climate change and mistreatment of immigrants, but also some ardent
supporters. During the past four years, Trump made a point of
talking tough against China, cozying up with Russia, and trying to
forge deals in the Middle East. At the same time, he has renounced
the World Health Organization and the Paris Agreement on climate.
We talk about what the next four years could mean for America’s
reputation overseas regardless of who wins the election.
