Donald Trump will probably be the next President of the United States of America. A country that currently seems more divided than ever. “Make America Great Again” – what does that mean for the world? What does this mean for Ukraine and the Middle East? What for the European Union and NATO? How will Trump act economically? Will tariffs be limited to China or is this just the beginning? Has democracy in the USA proven itself or is it facing its greatest test?

This and more will be discussed today, on Wednesday, November 6th, 2024, at 10:30 p.m. on ORF 2 and on ORF ON with Martin Thür at the “Round Table”:

**Interview​ with​ Yussi Pick, Communication Consultant**

**Interviewer:**‍ Thank ‌you for joining us, ⁣Yussi. With⁢ the current political climate in the​ U.S.⁢ leaning ⁤towards another Trump presidency, many are asking what “Make​ America⁢ Great Again” really means ‍for the global landscape. From your perspective, how might this slogan translate into foreign policy and international relations,‌ especially regarding ⁣Ukraine and the Middle East?

**Yussi Pick:** It’s a complex issue.‌ Trump’s approach historically has been one of isolationism mixed with a⁢ transactional ⁢view of‍ international‍ relations. This could mean less support for NATO and more focus on negotiating direct bilateral ‌agreements. ​Countries like Ukraine might⁢ find⁢ themselves in a precarious position if U.S. support wanes.

**Interviewer:** Interesting point. Velina,⁢ as a geopolitics expert, ‌do you think the European Union and NATO will respond differently if Trump promotes a less interventionist approach?

**Velina ⁢Tchakarova:** Absolutely, the‌ response will likely be critical. If Trump scales ​back U.S. commitments, Europe may have to‍ bolster its own defense initiatives.‌ This ⁢also raises questions about unity within the EU as member states evaluate their⁢ own security in the absence of⁤ robust ⁢U.S.​ support.

**Interviewer:** Monika, looking at the economic implications,​ do you believe⁢ tariffs⁢ will be a tool Trump utilizes broadly or will they remain focused‌ primarily on competition with China?

**Monika Köppl-Turin:** Tariffs could ⁤extend beyond​ China under a Trump ⁤administration, particularly if he‍ sees other nations as threats to⁣ American jobs​ and industry. The ‍economic landscape may shift, impacting global markets and trade relationships, depending on who falls within his scope.

**Interviewer:** Heinz, ⁤with all these factors ​at‌ play,‍ how do we assess the health of⁣ democracy in the‌ U.S.? Do you think it’s⁢ facing ​its greatest ⁢test, as some commentators suggest?

**Heinz Gärtner:** Yes,​ the⁤ situation​ is‍ indeed critical. With ⁢polarization ‌at an all-time high, the very ​tenets of democratic‍ governance are ⁤under scrutiny. ⁢How the⁣ new administration interacts ‍with dissenting voices and international partners will ⁢reveal much about the resilience of American democracy.

**Interviewer:** This⁢ conversation touches on numerous consequential themes. Our ‍readers⁤ might be wondering—do ⁣you believe a potential Trump presidency will‍ strengthen or weaken the U.S.’s ‌role on the world stage, and what implications does that hold for global democracy? What are⁣ your thoughts?
