The outcome of the US midterm congressional elections could lead to a reassessment of several foreign policy directions under the Trump administration, according to Reuters. A shift in the balance of power within Congress could grant lawmakers greater influence over White House decisions.
If Democrats gain more seats, they might seek to limit funding for military operations or block personnel appointments related to Iran, potentially requiring congressional approval for further military actions. Regarding Ukraine, Democrats could more actively push for new packages of military and financial aid for Kyiv. For Israel, there is a possibility that the question of reducing, limiting, or completely halting American military support could be raised.
Furthermore, increased congressional oversight is anticipated concerning US actions in Latin America, including Washington's policy towards Venezuela and Cuba. The election results are thus expected to impact not only the domestic agenda of the United States but also key foreign policy decisions made by the Trump administration.
