Jeffrey Sachs: US FOREIGN POLICY AFTER THE MID TERM ELECTIONS

Against a background of an international climate of heightened
 tensions, an unprecedented act of military aggression by
Russia against  Ukraine, many unresolved issues in the US
relationship to China, the Mid  Term Election of November
2022 has altered the domestic political  landscape in the
US.  Foreign policy mainly is in the domain of the
 President. Nevertheless, the question whether and to what
extent the  outcome of the election can impact on foreign
policy in general and on  the President’s capability to
shape it needs to be explored
