JUST imagine this scenario for a moment. You wake up on the morning of November 6, 2024, a day after the US presidential election to the news that Donald Trump is once again the American leader.But two things immediately spring to mind here. The first is that the world should have learned by now never to say never when it comes to Trump.
It might be more than a year away but that’s nothing timescale-wise in geopolitics. And if some US allies around the world – especially in– have not woken up to the possibility of a Trump return to the White House then it’s high time they did so. To begin with, like it or not, the fact is that the US plays an enormous role in European security.The implications of this would be profound, for again like it or not, Washington picks up the lion’s share of the tab for Nato.
Given Scotland’s obvious geostrategic location in all of this then the implications would be felt right on our very own doorstep.As Bronwen Maddox, director of the UK-based think tank Chatham House, rightly pointed out in the Financial Times this week, British foreign policy like that in much of Europe is based on “the presumption that the US in some sense always remains the same”.
As The Wall Street Journal recently highlighted based on interviews with senior policymakers and politicians, among the most widespread fears is that Trump would spark a global trade war.
