All eyes on America! The US is gearing up for a historic Presidential election on Tuesday, November 5, with Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump vying for the role of the 47th President. This election holds global significance, with the US as a leader in technology, trade, and diplomacy—its choice of leadership shaping international relations, economic policies, and global stability. Here's a summary of both candidates on some key issues raised by them during their political campaigns:
Trade Policy: Contrasting Visions On Tariffs And Industry Protection
Kamala Harris: Harris is expected to take a nuanced approach, likely retaining select tariffs on Chinese imports, including electric vehicles, while supporting industry protections aligned with the Biden-Harris administration.
Donald Trump: Trump advocates for increased tariffs, with plans to impose 10-20% tariffs on most foreign goods and higher rates on Chinese imports. He also aims to lower corporate taxes to retain U.S. manufacturing jobs.
Foreign Policy: Support For Allies Vs Isolationist Approach
Kamala Harris: Harris commits to supporting Ukraine and aims to secure the U.S.'s competitive edge against China. She supports a two-state solution for Israel-Palestine and peace in Gaza.
Donald Trump: Taking an isolationist stance, Trump has promised to end the war in Ukraine through a negotiated settlement. While supporting Israel, he has not detailed a specific plan for Gaza.
