TRUMP mener
Nato-landene bør bruke
mer på forsvar.

Etter valginnblandingen i 2016
har demokratene vært
skarpere i tonen overfor Russland
enn det republikanerne er.

TRUMP har anerkjent
Jerusalem som
Israels hovedstad.

Han har ikke fordømt
Israels statsminister
Benjamin Netanyahus
plan om å annektere
store deler av Vestbredden.

BIDEN støtter
en tostatsløsning,
men vil ikke flytte den
amerikanske ambassaden
tilbake til Tel Aviv.

Forholdet mellom
Netanyahu
og Barack Obama
var vanskelig,
men det har blitt meldt
at BIDEN kom
godt overens med ham.

The Riyadh Criminal Court issued final verdicts Monday, Sept. 7, 2020, against eight people. The court ordered a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for five, with one receiving a 10-year sentence and two others being ordered to serve seven years in prison. The trial was widely criticized by rights groups and an independent U.N. investigator, who noted that no senior officials nor anyone suspected of ordering the killing was found guilty.

BIDEN har lovet at han skal være
hardere i klypa i møtet med Saudi-Arabia.

BIDEN mener TRUMP har vært altfor myk,
særlig i forbindelse med
drapet på den saudiarabiske journalisten
Jamal Khashoggi i 2018.

TRUMP sier at et godt forhold til Saudi-Arabia
veier opp andre hensyn.

vil være tøffere overfor Nord-Korea.

TRUMPs forhold til Kina har variert.

I valgkampen har TRUMP pekt ut landet som USAs hovedfiende.

BIDEN har sagt at
de vil sette menneskerettigheter
høyere på dagsordenen i møte med Kina.

Obama-administrasjonen
sanksjonerte også mot Venezuela,
men lettet på sanksjonene mot Cuba.

TRUMP har innført nye sanksjoner.

TRUMP har ført en politikk
som har tatt sikte på
å presse landene til å samarbeide
for å få slutt på migrasjonen til USA.

Han truer blant annet med kutt i bistand.

Det er ventet at BIDEN vil trå mer varsomt.

Donald Trumps demokratiske utfordrer 3. november 2020 Joe Biden lover et vesentlig skifte.

Der Trump følger sine instinkter, ventes Biden å stå for en mer disiplinert og tradisjonell amerikansk utenrikspolitikk.

USAs lederrolle

Biden har uttalt at han som USAs president vil ta tilbake landets lederrolle i verden og styrke bånd til allierte. Budskapet skiller seg fra Trumps doktrine om å sette amerikanske interesser først.

Erfaring

Biden fremmer seg selv som en kandidat med lang utenrikspolitisk erfaring.

– Jeg vet en god del om amerikansk utenrikspolitikk, og jeg har forbindelser over hele verden. De som ikke liker meg, respekterer meg, og de som liker meg, respekterer meg, sa Biden på en pressekonferanse i Delaware i juli.

Trump selger seg selv som en tøff forhandler som sikrer at man får ting gjort internasjonalt, og han hevder at Biden vil bli for mild i møte med mektige motstandere som Kina.
