The U.S. faces multiple crises in 2020, both foreign and domestic, made more acute because it's an election year, which tempts terrorists and other miscreants.
Next, add simmering tensions on the Korean peninsula and in the South China Sea; the conflict between Russia and Ukraine; violence-fed instability in Central America and Mexico; and the wars in Syria and Afghanistan.
During the 2016 campaign, terrorist attacks in San Bernardino and Orlando, Fla., probably boosted the prospects of then-candidate Donald Trump, who argued that the United States needed stricter immigration polices to stop the violence. Or they may try the opposite tack — offering deals to a president who wants something to show U.S. voters in an election year. He might try to strike a splashy deal with Kim Jong Un, the dictator of North Korea, or a quick peace agreement with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Just be sure to check the fine print.that he will sign a “very large and comprehensive Phase One trade deal with China” in the White House on Jan. 15, and that he will travel to Beijing later this year to seek a wider agreement.
And that leads to the biggest worry for foreign policy experts: The world is becoming unglued, and the Trump administration appears less interested than its predecessors in acting as a global stabilizer.
