Joe Biden vs Donald Trump: Key Foreign Policy Issues in US Presidential Elections - Ukraine, Israel, and Iran
The US presidential election is scheduled for November 5, 2024, with results anticipated soon after.
Incumbent President Donald Trump is expected to represent the Republican Party, having secured the nomination with ease during primaries.
Democratic nominee Joe Biden is the frontrunner for his party, having emerged victorious in the state primaries.
Key issues in the election include foreign policy.
A candidate's foreign policy stance is a crucial aspect of their campaign.
The text discusses the scrutiny of the US electorate on the foreign policies of President Biden and former President Trump regarding the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza.
Critics, including Vivek Ramaswamy and Robert F Kennedy Jr, have criticized Biden for involvement in regime change operations and the negative impact on Ukrainian people in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war.
The $95 billion national security package, which includes $60 billion for Ukraine, is facing delays in the Republican-led House of Representatives due to demands for changes.
Kennedy referred to the Russia-Ukraine war as a "proxy war" and considered the US approach as detrimental to the Ukrainian people.
The text discusses the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza, where over 35,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed despite continuous bombardment.
Despite this, both US presidential candidates support Israel.
Additionally, tensions between Israel and its arch-enemy Iran have put President Biden in a difficult position, as Iran poses a threat to Israel and is an enemy of the US.
However, Biden has made it clear that the US will not participate in Israel's retaliation against Iran.
